Programs for Kids
Story Times
Story Time is for children of all ages. We read stories based on a theme, sing songs, & speak rhymes. It’s fun and interactive.
Book Babies
Book Babies is story time for babies from birth to age 3 and their adults. We do bouncing rhymes and sing songs!
LEGO® Programs
On LEGO Morning, we’ll have our LEGO bricks out in the Youth Services Room from 10am – 12pm for kids to stop by & create at their leisure. (We sometimes have LEGO Afternoons, too!)
LEGO Hour, meets in the Community Room for a 45 minute build session inspired by a challenge, followed by sharing of our creations.
Tweens & Teens
Kids ages 11 – 17 are welcome at the library, too! We have a section of our bulletin board devoted to puzzles & coloring pages for older kids. We also offer programs for tweens & teens. Check our current calendar (linked above) for this month’s events!
This free program encourages you to read 1000 books to your newborn/toddler before they start kindergarten. More information
