Babies Need Words

Just a reminder: babies love songs! Even if your child can't sing with you yet, singing plays an important part in them learning language.

Drop-in Programs!

We know how busy the winter can get for families. That’s why we’re offering brand new drop-in programs! Stop in after school with your children for a variety of fun activities like puzzles, legos, and coloring. The activities start at 4pm, but you can drop in over the next hour to start when YOU are ready! This is a great way to keep kids active during the cold weather and a great chance for you to engage and bond with your child!

Librarian Book Club: How to Steal a Dog

Librarian Book Club is back in session! This time, we're reccomending a book from a program we conducted called Novel Club.

Novel Club wasn't your run of the mill book club. Instead, kids met weekly to read the book TOGETHER and discuss it as we read. This worked really well for reluctant readers and highlighted the children's library's commitment to "social reading." What's that? Well, just as you would gather your friends together to watch a movie, we encouraged kids to gather together to read a book. The vibe was super casual: kids ate snacks, asked questions, and chatted as they went. This helped kids see reading as a fun, everyday thing (like watching a movie), rather than a super studious school-related activity.

Long story short: one of our favorite books from Novel Club was this one...
