Calendar

Give your child a jumpstart to a love of reading by engaging in fun, interactive activities with your baby. This is a drop-in program for newborns to 18 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. 

This program is also offered at 1 p.m. on Wednesdays at the Mill Street library.

Join us with our friends from EarlyON Dufferin for songs, stories and a craft in the park. 

Meet at Village Green Park, 53 Hewitt Street, at 10 a.m.

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.

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. This is a drop-in program.

Every Child Ready to Read Storytime is also offered on Thursdays, 10:30 a.m. at the Mill Library.

Join community champion Farzaneh Peterson and our Program and Research Coordinator, Shannon McGrady as we recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation with a story sharing circle. Participants are invited to read a book(s) by an Indigenous author of their choosing throughout the month of September and then join in circle with others as we share what we learned and the impact it had on our journey of learning the truths.
