Groups of children, including scouts, nursery schools, and elementary school children, visit periodically to learn what Children's Services has to offer. Arrangements for visits need to be made at least two weeks in advance with Diane Tinacci. During the summer, in addition to our Summer Reading Program, we offer a variety of programs for preschoolers through middle school students, which include storytimes, movies, book groups, arts and crafts, and performers. Registered Spring Programs Registration for these programs begins Wednesday, February 28 and ends Tuesday, March 6. Programs will begin on April 2.
Registration involves coming to the children's library and filling out a registration card.
No registrations will be accepted by phone. Children must be the appropriate age for the storytime in which they are enrolled within the week the program begins. Names will be drawn in a lottery fashion, and preference will be given to Ridgefield residents. Children need basic chess skills. The group will read and discuss Loius Sachar's Holes on March 22, Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass on April 26, and Marion Dan Bauer's On my Honor on May 31.
