The same theme is shared throughout the week and stories are repeated from day to day. Preschool Story Times are offered continually, with recesses occurring in December, May and August. For specific dates refer to the Library's newsletter, Pages or the Calendar of Events . The 20-minute sessions consist of stories, fingerplays, songs and action games geared at the developmental stages of this age level. Adults play an active role in these story times because they offer a chance for interaction with the child and an introduction to the literature available for toddlers.
Registration is required and begins two weeks prior to the start date of the series.
Sessions run for 4 - 6 weeks, depending on schedule allowances. For specific dates refer to the library's newsletter, Pages or the Calendar of Events . The Youth Department staff work with a volunteer from the Red Cross to provide Babysitting and Basic Aid Training at a variety of times throughout the year. The Red Cross Babysitting Class is for students 11 - 14 years of age.
