NEW KIDS BOOKS:

Best of 2021:


Children's ​Ongoing Programming:

rhyme time
 Rhyme Time on Mondays and Tuesdays at 10:00am
Rhyme Time is intended for Infants and Toddlers from birth through 3 years old. Rhyme Time will be a very loose and easy social meeting where we will share a different Mother Goose rhyme each week as we sing, dance and play together. There will be some language/pre-reading skill building for the older children that are developmentally ready to engage and focus but that is not expected of all attendees. Rhyme Time is much more an opportunity for social and emotional growth as well as being an introduction to a classroom like setting so children can build learning skills and feel comfortable in a more structured environment.

Rhyme Time will meet on Tuesday mornings at 10 from October of 2021 through May of 2022. This is a drop in program open to all. Please see the library's calendar for specific dates.


Lego Building
Lego Club for ages 5 and up
Meet up with some friends to build with the library Legos and we will display your creations. The Club meets the second Friday and Saturday of each month. Please check calendar for date

Book Bag Buddies
Book Bag Buddies:

Book Bag Buddies is a new way of doing reading groups for kids!

Everyone has a busy schedule and it’s hard to fit in another activity that requires a specific time and place to meet, so how about we do a reading group that doesn’t have to meet to share their reading experiences? With Book Bag Buddies kids can participate in a group reading experience at their own pace.

Once you’ve signed your child up for the program you come to the library and pick up your “Book Bag” which will contain the book we are reading along with follow up activities to share on the Book Bag Buddies page of the library web site. No need to add another appointment to an already busy schedule. You can take the month to read the book at your own pace, complete your activities and submit them to me so Miss Laura can post them to the Book Bag Buddies page – it’s that easy! AND, YOU GET TO KEEP THE BOOK FOR YOUR HOME LIBRARY OR TO SHARE WITH A FRIEND!

Don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions. Miss Laura is excited to share this program with the families in our community and she hopes that we create a robust and active community of young readers to share ideas and experiences together!



FAIR Family Adventures in Reading
F.A.I.R. - Family Adventures In Reading = We will build book knowledge as we delve into great stories: exploring the format, text, illustrations and other aspects of books, as well as help you grow your personal library at home. A maximum of 6 families can register for each F.A.I.R. session where we will discuss the book, read the story, share ideas and thoughts and do a related craft. Each family is welcome to take their copy of the session book home to help build their home library. This activity will be on the 4th Thursday of the month from 6 - 7 pm.


Home Schooling
Home School Parent Meetings

There is a special page for homeschool information under the Children's Room heading. On that page you will find a wealth of information that may be helpful to homeschool families. Miss Laura has a special email list for homeschoolers to pass on any information she receives about about special classes or learning opportunities. If you would like to be added to that email group please email Miss Laura.

We will have a monthly meeting on the second Thursday from 6 - 7 pm. Please check our library Calendar for scheduled meetings. Miss Laura is always interested in hearing how the library can better help our homeschool community so please, to not hesitate to email or call her with your questions, comments, or suggestions.
