Families with young children are welcome to read, sing, and play together at the library!

For the first half, children can play with the library’s toy collection. For the second half, the librarian will read aloud and sing songs (with help from the grown-ups!). We often do a simple craft or art activity at the end!

Please note that program content is targeted toward toddlers and preschool-aged children. However, younger and older siblings are welcome to attend too. All young children must be accompanied by an adult caregiver.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required.
