Join Miss Katrina and Miss LoriAnn each week for this all-ages musical storytime experience.  Both caregivers and kids can enjoy music, bubbles, and books as we practice and learn important skills, such as language development, spatial skills and motor skills.  This program also gives kids a chance to practice self-control and help them gain awareness of their own bodies and others’ in addition to learning some fun music concepts!  Caregivers can enjoy billboard hits from the 70's thru today. 

This storytime lasts 30 minutes with time afterwards for socializing (both kids and caregivers!) and instrument exploration.  

No registration.  This program will be held inside in the Shattuck room.

WeeRead is a preschool aged storytime for children and their caregivers. Join Miss Hannah and Miss Jodi as we share songs & stories, learn rhymes - both old and new, shake our sillies out with lively music and end with a puppet show.  This story time lasts about 25 minutes.  We recognize that story time is a learned experience and that 25 minutes may be a bit too long for our littlest friends.  Please come for whatever amount of time works for you and your child.  You are welcome to slip out and come back either in a few minutes or another time. We are prepared to keep things flexible so that kids of every age will have a fun story time experience!

All ages and skill levels are welcome! Chess sets will be provided. Coaching and beginner help is available. No registration is necessary. The event takes place on the library's second floor and lasts from 5:30 pm until 8:30 pm.

Bring music you're working on, something you're having trouble with, play a solo or a duet for the group, play along with your fellow ukers. All skill levels are welcome!
