Program Description

Event Details

Story Time

Children of all ages are invited to join us for stories and songs, movement and music, and literacy and laughter!

All ages and developmental stages are welcome.

 

Due to space limitations, registration is requested for Story Time.

Registering guarantees your space, should capacity become an issue.  It also allows us to adequately prepare materials for all attendees.  Finally, it gives our staff the ability to contact you in the event of any last-minute schedule changes.

Summer Reading Program

Summer Reading Activities are "extras" - programs, presentations, and special events hosted by the library - designed to complement the reading goals of our annual summer reading challenges.  Participating in these special programs earns additional badges in Beanstack and additional tickets for the ticket drawing prizes! 

For Secret Code Word activities, be sure to look for the sign with the secret code word or ask a library staff member during the program!
