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 10:30 a.m on Fridays at the Alder Street library.

Meet local author Hugh Russel at the Shelburne Public Library, 201 Owen Sound St. Hugh will share his latest title "Till the Swallows Awaken: a Lord James Horn and Anthony Hillman mystery" about German espionage in England during WWI. He is the author of four mystery/adventure novels, an acclaimed artist and a former broadcaster. 

Sign up online through the Shelburne library.

Coffee, Conversation and Books is a partnership between the Orangeville, Grand Valley and Shelburne Public Libraries. The evening features a book talk and tips about the writing process. 

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 Tuesdays, 10:30 a.m. at the Alder Library.
