Here parents can learn activity songs, nursery rhymes and lullabies while interacting with their little ones in positve ways. Board books are shared and toys are made available as the importance of play is discussed. Simple crafts are demonstrated to show how the home can be made more stimulating. Most important, a love of books is encouraged as a method of family sharing. In order to make it easier for parents, teachers, and care givers to share books with young children, the Library loans Storytime Bags .
Some examples are seasons, family, occupations, ABCs, counting, dinosaurs, etc.
We have computer software for preschoolers. There will also be increased programming for parents, teachers, and care providers. The Library is a place to share ideas and information, as well as materials. The popular Pediatricians Series will continue, and new opportunities to learn about young children will be offered. We hope that Head Start, day cares and other groups will call to schedule special storytimes at the Library.
