Neighborhood Library

These 20-to-30-minute story times are full of books, songs, rhymes and finger plays for children birth to 2 years old. Our Baby and Toddler Story Time is a great way to introduce your child to language skills in a positive and fun environment. With slightly more activity and movement than our lap times, children and their grownups are encouraged to engage with the books and songs and to actively participate in the program.

Share the fun of reading with your children ages 3-5 years. Children and their grownups will explore stories and activities to encourage children to develop a lifelong love of reading and learning. These 30-to-40-minute programs are designed to promote language and listening skills, expand children’s imaginations and arouse their curiosity about the world around them. This is a drop-in story time; no advance registration is required, but tickets will be distributed 30 minutes beforehand at 11 a.m. on the Lower Level on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Advance registration is required for this story time.   An experience for our youngest library users and their caregivers, this 20-to-30-minute story time introduces books, songs, rhymes, tickles and bounces developmentally appropriate for children ages 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. 

What has a wet nose and loves kids? A P.A.L. dog. Where do P.A.L. dogs love to listen to kids read? The Northeast Library. On the fourth Thursday of every month, dogs and kids get together for a “Sit and Stay” Dog Story Time at 6:30 p.m. in the Children's Room on the Story Time rug. Read to our furry P.A.L.* friends once a month - you'll love it and the dogs will love you.   Children ages 5-12 are welcome. Kids under 9 must have adult supervision. Come, sit and stay awhile. It'll be "pawsome."
