Rhyme Time is a program intended for infants and toddlers. Each week we will share an interactive story, a Mother Goose rhyme and some fun music and movement. There may be an activity to build some pre-reading skills and it is hoped, but not initially expected, for the children to be engaged the entire circle time. Children are welcome to engage with the program, come and go from the circle as they want while they build their self regulation and attention skills, and when the music starts everyone usually comes rushing back! This is intended to be a comfortable, engaging activity to introduce story time expectations and early literacy skills in a low-key environment, to allow for social opportunities for children and parents and to expose infants and toddlers to an early learning environment.

Children are welcome to engage with the program, come and go from the circle as they want while they build their self regulation and attention skills, and when the music starts everyone usually comes rushing back! This is intended to be a comfortable, engaging activity to introduce story time expectations and early literacy skills in a low-key environment, to allow for social opportunities for children and parents and to expose infants and toddlers to an early learning environment.
Pick up a take home simple sewing project available at the beginning of each month. A limited number of kits will be available on the 1st of each month, first come, first served. Please ask at the front desk. Available for ages 10 and up, 1 per person, 2 per family.
All are welcome at the Friends of the Plainville Public Library Meetings.
