Along with all our regular Youth Services programs, we have two extra-special programs this month that you won't want to miss!
 December 5 @ 10:30am: Early Literacy Celebration We hope you'll join us for our annual Early Literacy Celebration on December 5th at 10:30 am. We'll use this special storytime to talk about the five early literacy practices- singing, talking, reading, writing, and playing. After storytime, we'll have play stations set up so families can practice each kind of literacy, and we'll be giving away some amazing prizes! As a special treat, we've invited our local legislators and city council members to help run the stations after storytime, and to hand out the prizes. Families with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers are all invited to participate; it's going to be so much fun!  December 22 – 27: The Abominable Library Obstacle Course
Kids of all ages can come to the library anytime between December 20th and December 27th for a wintery obstacle course fit for a yeti! |
