Welcome to September in the Children's Library! Our fall programming session kicks off September 2! That means storytime is back at Central Library and the Branch Libraries. September is full of excitement in the Children’s Library! We’re launching a brand-new cozy Pajama Story Night on September 15, held on the third Monday of every month at 6:00 p.m. This family storytime is recommended for kids ages 5 - 9. Wear your favorite pajamas and bring a stuffed animal! Toddlers get their turn in the spotlight with our special Touch-a-Bus Toddler Storytime on Tuesday, September 16, with two sessions at 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Enjoy an interactive storytime for ages 18–36 months, then head outside to touch a real HBSD school bus and meet the driver! We’ll also be celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with a festive Hispanic Heritage Fiesta on Thursday, September 18, from 3:30–5:00 p.m. Families are invited to enjoy music, crafts, games, a folklorico performance, and tasty snacks while supplies last. In addition, we’ll have a Lotería Scavenger Hunt running in the Children’s Department from September 15 through October 18. Stop by anytime during this month-long celebration to play and win a prize! This fall also brings an important change for our popular clubs: Please refer to our Event Calendar for upcoming dates and registration details. We can't wait to see you this fall at the Children's Library! Want the latest updates from HBPL? Follow us on social media! |

Sing & Rhyme: Building Literacy Through Music and Rhythm
One of the most enjoyable ways to strengthen your child’s early literacy skills is through songs and rhymes. Whether you’re in the car, at bath time, or getting ready for bed, sing familiar tunes, chant nursery rhymes, or make up silly verses together. These playful rhythms help children hear language patterns, practice sounds, and build memory, all key skills for reading. Don’t worry about being on key; your voice is your child’s favorite sound, and music makes learning fun, natural, and memorable.
Looking for fun books filled with rhyme and rhythm? Visit the library and ask a librarian for suggestions based on your child’s age and interests. Don’t forget to check our Event Calendar for upcoming events and activities programs! |
