Programs and Homework Help for Children

Story Time Adventures for babies- preschool- 10:00 a.m. Mondays (September-May)- Each Monday we learn early literacy skills through reading, rhyming, singing, talking, and playing.

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten (see librarian for more information)- This self-paced program tracks how many books your child reads (or is read).  You get a record sheet and mark every book that is read, even if it is multiple times.  If you read the same book 10 times, mark it down 10 times on the record sheet.  Turn in the completed sheet and your child receives a sticker and a new record sheet.  Once 500 books are completed, your child will receive a bracelet.  Your child will receive their own book once they reach the 1,000th book read.
