STORYTIME

Music & Movement Storytime - Join us for lots of lap bounces, shakers, and more at Music & Movement Storytime every Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m. in the Community Room! This special story time is thoughtfully designed for our youngest patrons (ages 18 months to 4-years-old), but all Library Kids are welcome to attend.

Family Storytime - Join us every Friday at 10:30 a.m. in the Community Room for Family Storytime. We'll sing, dance, and read together - plus you can take home a craft based on our theme! Family Storytime is a great way to establish early literacy skills. While this program is designed for children age 5 and under, all children are welcome to attend!

ATTENTION GROWNUPS: Library kids have the best experience at Storytime when their parent, grandparent, or special grown-up is actively involved. Everyone is encouraged to sing, dance, and read with us! Please remember to silence your mobile devices and keep conversations for after Storytime.

Kids reading a book with text: "1000 Books Before Kindergarten. Read it and Reap!"

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten - Any child that hasn’t started Kindergarten can sign up. This includes newborns, infants and/or toddlers. The goal is simple…to read 1,000 books before your little one starts Kindergarten – and yes, you can repeat books! After reading 1,000 books, your kiddo will receive an official book bag containing a special book and stuffed animal character. Contact us for more information.
