Main Library

Children's Area

Listen to great stories and songs while building literacy skills and a lifelong love of reading.

Each week, both "Budding Bookworms" storytimes will use the same stories and rhymes. Feel free to come to either or both to gain the benefit of repeated reading!

The Tuesday version is in an enclosed meeting room located in our Main Library Annex. This means fewer distractions and more of a challenge for little escape artists.

The Wednesday version is in the Children's Room on the second floor at the Main Library.
