Programs for Youth in May

Weekly Storytime    Join the fun and learning on Tuesdays, May 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31st at 9:30 for picture books, songs, and rhymes that are designed to promote early language, fine motor, and pre-literacy skills in a friendly environment! We meet every week in the library community room, and the outdoor entrance to this room is to the left of the main library entrance. As the weather gets warmer, we will also hold some of our storytimes outdoors on the library patio. Each week we will finish up Storytime with a simple craft or sensory activity and book browsing. Storytime is designed for babies, toddlers, and pre-school aged children, and no registration is required.

Library StoryWalk  The warmer weather means StoryWalks at the library are back! StoryWalks are laminated picture book pages posted in order across the library grounds. We invite your family to take a short walk around the library as you read a great story and spend time outdoors together. During the Summer and Fall, we post new stories each month.

Take-and-Make Craft Kits  Weekly craft kits are back for the month of May! Craft kits will be available in the foyer every week, with a new theme beginning each Tuesday. 

Family Movie Friday! May 20th at 3:30 PM Join us in the community room after school for a showing of the movie, Encanto, and of course popcorn! Check the library website for more information. No registration required, just come in and enjoy some downtime at the end of the week!

Saturday Storytime May 21st at 11:00 AM   In May we will be meeting for stories, songs, and crafts about frogs and ponds! Saturday storytimes are for youth of all ages and their caregivers and are always free. No registration is required.
