Youth Services Update

Well over 1,000 children hit the books for fun and attended 56 library events as part of our Universe of Stories reading program in June and July.
In August, we'll focus on providing library services that fit back-to-school, daycare, and homeschooling schedules.
Any Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday morning, youngsters can drop in for storytime, which may include storytelling, singing, sign language, art activities, and more.
The first Thursday of every month brings Music Morning with Annette, and a bilingual storytime happens on the first Saturday.
The children's room offers a variety of literacy skill-building stations nestled amongst a great collection of children's books. Visit often!
