Also, for safety reasons we ask that attendees wear masks and observe social distancing. In the case of inclement weather the event will be cancelled.  

Please join us outside in the amphitheater where we will share some of our favorite stories. Perhaps, you will discover a few favorites of your own.  Let's be safe and remember to wear our masks!  Programs will be canceled for inclement weather.

This program is recommended for children ages birth-5 and their caregivers. This program will be held in the library's parking lot to account for social distancing. Chairs will be available, though we strongly recommend bringing a blanket or towel to sit on due to the asphalt. Space is limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Outdoor story time fun for the entire family, these 30-to-40-minute story times are packed full of books and activities designed to be enjoyed by all ages. Promoting language and literacy skills, these story times are a great way to further your child’s lifelong love of reading and learning.

A story time experience for our youngest library users and their caregivers. These 20-30 minute story times introduce books, songs, rhymes, tickles and bounces that are developmentally appropriate for children from birth to when they start walking.  Baby Lap Time is a wonderful way to introduce your child to the joys of reading in a positive and fun atmosphere. This story time is designed so the baby will be in their caregiver’s lap and the grownup is actively involved in the program; it is recommended that each child have their own adult with them.
