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.

Even after millions of years, dinosaurs still have the power to capture our imagination.  Come join us to make your own dinosaur fossils and to test your knowledge with a prehistoric Kahoot. 

This is a drop in program for ages 7 to 12 years. No registration is required. Please note, guardians of children 9 and under must remain in the library for the duration of the program. Thank you for your cooperation.

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.

The After Hours Write Club is a writing workshop facilitated by local author Anthony Carnovale.  Meet at the Mill Street Library at 7 p.m.
