Play. Explore. Investigate.

Sensational sensory fun awaits! Bring your little ones to the library to explore sensory learning. Sensory play is designed to stimulate a young child's senses—hearing, seeing, tasting, smelling, touching—and to create an early, natural introduction to the scientific processes as children play and investigate. Bottom line: kids have TONS of hands-on fun while strengthening important cognitive skills and fine and gross motor skills.

At each session, we will provide several exciting sensory stations for your child to explore while introducing you to early learning tools to benefit your child's development. Plus, we will provide a take-home project so you can continue the learning and fun beyond your visit! Things could get messy, so be sure to dress appropriately.

For children of all ages. Just drop in!

This event is in the "Babies & Toddlers" group.

Shhh, we're reading...

Join our introvert happy hour! Bring your current book and spend time reading with fellow book lovers every Tuesday evening. You can socialize your way with no need to finish a specific book or weigh in on a group discussion.

Psst... We'll set the cozy atmosphere with dimmed lights, calming music, and a selection of warm beverages including coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. To create the ultimate cozy space for yourself, you are welcome to bring a pillow and blanket.

For ages 18 and up. Just drop in!

This event is in the "Babies & Toddlers" group.

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.

For ages 0–2. Just drop in!
