Preschool Storytime is an hour program that includes stories, songs, activities and fun for children ages 3-5 and their caregivers.

Toddler Time at the Library

With our Toddler Time story telling sessions at the library, your child will experience literature through interactive play, games, music, and more! Also during these unique storytelling sessions with your child, you will have the opportunity to get involved in assisting your child with the activities, which can also be played at home for a fun family learning activity.

This program is encouraged for kids ages 2 to 3 years. Caregivers and grandparents are welcome to bring older siblings if necessary.

How does my child benefit from Story Times?

While Toddler Time is an exciting, interactive activity for both kids and their adults, there are quite a lot of developmental benefits that stem from storytelling during adolescence. Through simple group activities, your child is learning fine motor skills, facial expressions, listening skills, and so much more.

The National Association for Education of Young Children (NAEYC) says that reading aloud is important for children of all ages. Read this NAEYC article for more information about the additional benefits of storytelling. Also, if you would like to get your child involved in reading at home, please talk with our staff in the children's department for help finding material

Just hearing the name "Oz" conjures up fantastic images, adventures, and heartfelt memories. So many of us can recite the plot of the famous story, but how many of us really know what went into creating it? What influences did L. Frank Baum have in his life as he created what is widely acknowledged as America's First Fairytale? Librarian Laura Keyes will separate fact from fiction as she shares the fantastic story of this amazing man, who created The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Miss Keyes will be delighting audiences with her illustrated lecture . www.LaurafKeyes.com
