Main Library Story Times are held outside near the tea house or on the side porch. Events will be modified to observe social distancing guidelines. Masks are a must for those 2 years of age and older. Please bring a blanket for seating. No registration is required.
Natural Wanders: Stories and experiences in nature for ages 3 and up. Thursdays 2:00-2:30 April 8 – April 29. Designed for ages 3 and above, we’ll start with stories and a song and then move on to a nature-based activity. Complete this self-directed activity anywhere on the library grounds, or in your home neighborhood.
Stroller Time for babies – 24 months: Mondays 10:00 – 10:30 April 19 & April 26. We’ll share simple storybooks, songs and some movement as we relax in our strollers or on our blankets on the library grounds.
Family Storytime for all ages: Wednesdays 10:00-10:30 April 21 & April 28. Families are encouraged to bring a blanket to relax and enjoy stories, fingerplays, and songs. We’ll end the session with an action song or two that will further build early literacy and learning skills.
