​PROGRAMS

Book Buddies -- Now VIRTUAL

Book Buddies meet on Tuesday afternoons from 3:30-4:30 ONLINE! Children from Kindergarten through fifth grade meet as a group to listen and discuss a book, read aloud by one of our librarians. A craft (currently available as "Take & Make" at Curbsdie Pickup) will be available for pickup and take-home beginning each Tuesday. We will always have Book Bundles, games, STEAM kits, and other activities available for check-out if any child wishes to bring more activities home.

Virtual Book Buddies is a LIVE event via Facebook. Please follow the link below to access our Facebook Events Page.

*Please check back for updates as we continue to work towards in-person meetings

   Storytime
   **TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED DUE                  TO THE PANDEMIC**

Story Time meets on Wednesdays mornings from 9:30-10:30. This group begins with a fun song or rhyme to make everyone comfortable. At least two books are read each week followed by a little movement. The children enjoy a snack and conversation at the table before they work on a craft that relates to the theme of the books. Many children and parents make their first friends at Story Time!

Summer Reading

The Summer Reading Program begins in early summer. The dates will be posted on our website's Calendar when summer approaches. Typically, we meet at 10:15 in the multi-purpose room in the lower level of the library. All children and families listen to the stories that are read and then all are encouraged to participate in the craft or activity that connects the two. Supplies are included and appropriate for all ages. The remainder of the time is spent upstairs, playing games, coloring and looking at books. This is not a “quiet time” but everyone is asked to be respectful and no electronics or phones are allowed.

*Please check back for updates regarding open hours and the PANDEMIC. We apologize for any inconvenience, Summer Reading will also be available online in conjunction with in-person where possible.
