Library storytimes open the world of books, music, culture, language, and play to babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and their families. Parents, grandparents, caregivers, and teachers from daycare centers appreciate these programs, as the Library provides a place to gather and connect with others and to learn more about resources.
Children learning to read share a few pages or show illustrations from a favorite book to Trixie the Labrador Retriever, a Pet Partners certified therapy dog accompanied by her owner. Walk-ins welcome.
