Calendar

Take part in this interactive program that has something for everyone. Sing songs, listen to stories and rhymes, and play games that encourage literacy and learning.

Join Erin on Thursday morning at 10:30 a.m. 

Talking, singing, reading and playing are the key skills and fun ways to help your child get ready to read. Developing early literacy skills makes it easier for children to learn to read once they begin school, and helps to foster a lifelong love of reading and learning. No registration is required.

Recommended for age 5 and under.

Give your child a jumpstart to a love of reading by engaging in fun, interactive activities with your baby. Meet Lesley in Storyland at the Mill Street Library. This is a drop-in program for newborns to 12 months.

There will be time to socialize with other new parents after the program.

Every Child Ready to Read is an early childhood literacy program for children from birth to age five. Library staff will demonstrate ways to help children get ready to read, incorporating five activities: talking, singing, reading, writing and playing.

Drop in and join us for stories, songs and fun at Parkinson Crescent Park on Saturday morning.

All ages are welcome.

Bring the whole family to enjoy a Saturday movie screening of Encanto in the Mill Street meeting room.
