Upcoming Youth Events
Did you know reading with your child develops vocabulary and comprehension, nurtures a love for reading, and motivates children to want to learn to read?
Each week, children are invited to help choose the books we will read during storytime—encouraging active participation, building confidence, and cultivating excitement around reading. Families will also have time to read and explore books together.
Structured around the Every Child Ready to Read™ Curriculum, storytime is a great way to have fun while working on reading, social, and motor skills.
Let your creative sparks fly! Creative Kids takes place the first Wednesday of each month and is an opportunity to cultivate your inner creativity while you learn a new craft or skill!
Sing, move, dance, and rhyme with us during this interactive storytime!
Babies and their grown-up are encouraged to engage and participate in a storytime structured around the Every Child Ready to Read™ curriculum! Classes incorporate books, technology, movement, and hands-on practice to engage children and adults in a fun, friendly environment.
Read, sing, and move your way to kindergarten!
