Programs

Kids Programs

The library offers several options for story times! Join us for lots of songs, finger plays, and stories. We currently offer the following story times: Toddler Story Time (ages 1-2), Library Babies (under 12 months), Big Kids Story Time (ages 3-6), and All Ages Story Time (ages 0-6). Siblings are welcome at all story times except for Library Babies, which is limited to non-walkers. Story time typically runs from September through April. We require registration, so visit our online event calendar to find a story time and sign up.

Registration is required. Visit our event calendar and click on the story time you wish to attend to register you and your party for that story time. Please select one story time per week to attend, so that we may accommodate as many people as possible.
