CHILDREN'S ONGOING PROGRAMMING:
Storytime & Craft
Mondays at 10:00 am
Enjoy themed stories and a craft in the Children's Department every Monday morning. This program is intended for ages 2-5.
Rhyme Time
Tuesdays at 10:00 am
Rhyme Time is a drop-in program intended for infants and toddlers. Each week we will share an interactive story, finger plays, music and movement activities, and more. Children are welcome to engage with the program as much as they feel comfortable. Our intention is to introduce early literacy skills in a low-key environment, followed by social play time (for both children and caregivers!).
Rhyme Time meets on Tuesday mornings at 10:00 am. This is a drop-in program open to all. Please see the Library's calendar for specific dates.
Read to a Dog
Last Wednesday of every month 6:30-7:00 pm
Pre-readers and experienced readers alike are invited to join Lori and her dog Mocha in the Children's Department for our new "Read to a Dog" program! Reading to a furry friend not only helps kids practice their literacy skills, but it builds reading confidence and reduces stress. This drop-in program will take place on the last Wednesday of every month; no registration required.
Plainville Picassos
2nd and 4th Thursday of every month 6:30-7:00 pm
This arts & crafts series for ages 9-13 will take place on the second and fourth Thursday of the month, unless otherwise noted on the calendar. Please check the calendar for dates. No registration required! All materials provided.
LEGO Club
2nd Friday and Saturday of every month (times vary)
Gather with friends and free-build with the Library's Lego collection, and we will display your creations at the Main Desk! Lego Club meets the second Friday and Saturday of each month. Please check calendar for dates. This program is intended for ages 5+.
Family Watercolor Time
3rd Friday and Saturday of every month (times vary)
The Library supplies brushes, paper, watercolor paint, and palettes (and water, of course!), and you create a work of art. Come discover your creative side! For families with children ages 7 and up. Held on the third Friday and Saturday of the month. Please check calendar for dates.
