Toddler Time is a program series designed as a shared library experience for two year olds, with a caregiver. The librarian will share age appropriate stories, songs, fingerplays, activities and crafts in a group setting. Adults who accompany Toddlers are encouraged to actively participate as a model for their child. It is our goal to provide an educational experience that is also entertaining, and to nurture an early love of books and reading.
For children ages 24-35 months with an adult caregiver.
Drop in for stories, songs, fingerplays and a simple craft!

Pre-school story hour is a weekly, 30-minute story program for independent children age three to five. The librarian will share the best in children's literature and illustration, and will enhance the story time with songs, fingerplays, flannelboard and occasional crafts. In addition to sharing enriching literature, we will reinforce traditional pre-school concepts such as counting, identifying colors, animal names, etc. Pre-school children with rich and varied literacy experiences have many advantages when they begin school.
For preschoolers ages 3, 4 and 5.
Drop in for stories and fun!
