Story Time and Toddler Time on Tuesdays

Toddler Times, which are designed for the aged 2 and under crowd, will be held on Tuesdays at 10:10am for 20 minutes.

Story Times are 30-minute programs for 3 to 5 year olds and will be held on Tuesdays at 11:00am.

Conducted by our story time volunteers, these fun-filled sessions are free and open to the public. We combine stories, dance, flannel-boards, puppets, fingerplays and more to encourage a love of books and learning. Little ones must be accompanied by a caregiver.
