Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.  —Mr. Rogers

Join us to help your little one start their early-learning adventure! Toddler Storytime for ages 0 to 2 is designed to help lay the foundation for lifelong learning through a combination of stories, songs, and play.

Children learn language by listening to others talk, and stories and songs help them learn how language sounds, add new words to their growing vocabulary, and begin to understand what words mean. Play helps children express themselves and put thoughts into words as they explore the world around them and build early social skills through interactions with other children.

55 is not a speed limit, it's a starting point...

Join us on Thursdays to create an active routine and meaningful social interactions. Enjoy games, cards, Wii Bowling, fun crafts, guest speakers, and more. Plus, discover all sorts of helpful library resources and programs available to you.

When I say to a parent, "read to a child," I don't want it to sound like medicine. I want it to sound like chocolate. —Mem Fox

Reading becomes a favorite treat as we explore early literacy through stories, songs, and a simple craft. This free program for the whole family is designed to provide kids a foundation for kindergarten and to offer a fun, safe space for children of all ages to learn, socialize, and play. We strive to create fun and rich experiences that build a love of books, libraries, and learning that will stay with children for a lifetime.

Get active and stay strong...

Join us every week for a full-body strength-training session using resistance bands.

Instructor Hannah Southard will adjust the workout as needed to accommodate the individual strength levels and requirements of participants.

Please note:

• Wear clothing that will be comfortable for a light workout.
• Bottled water will be provided.
• Before you start any exercise program, it is recommended that you check with your physician.
