We'll be referencing the book The Power of Kindness by Piero Ferucci and have copies available to share. Bring along a yoga mat if you have one.

Kidspot | Drop-in

Drop in for Toddlertime, our storytime that emphasizes certain early literacy skills for your child. We will lay the foundation for reading through letter knowledge (with our Letter People Puppets!) and vocabulary building (great new books to read together!). Activities such as group songs, interactive felt board stories, and our "group troop" action rhymes, will entertain and educate. Our age-specific toys, which come out the last 10 minutes, will encourage socialization. Your child will leave thinking the library is a super fun place, all while learning pre-reading skills!
Note: Caregiver must remain in the room during the program.

Drop in and join youth librarians Miss Karen and Miss Edith, along with Miss Karla in 6 weeks of storytime fun. With over 25 combined years of storytime experience, our youth librarians will introduce your child to the wonderful world of books by reading great stories, singing funny songs, and making each story come alive through puppets, fingerplays and movement.
Note: Caregivers must remain in the library during the program.
