Preschool Storytime for 4 and 5 year-olds is every Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. The program is free and no registration is required. Preschoolers’ attention spans are longer, so expect 30 minutes of books with more complex plots, songs, fingerplays, and longer feltboards. Some preschoolers like to have an independent storytime experience, so the child might sit on the floor while you sit in a chair nearby. Books suitable for preschoolers are available for checkout after the storytime.

The After-School Zone happens Monday through Thursday, when school is in session, from 3:15 to 5:00 p.m. (except for the Tuesdays with After-School Events). The After-School Zone is a free place for kids age 8 - 19 to drop in. It’s a place to study, play video games, have a snack, and visit with friends.

Book clubs for kids: The Kids’ Book Club is for kids ages 10-13 years only. Meetings are the 1st Tuesday of the month at 3:30 p.m. This month we will be discussing "Parsifal's Page"
