Children's Programs
StoryTime is Back!: Bring your child (6 & under) to the library for StoryTime Friday mornings at 10:00(ish). Our drop-in StoryTime is a great way to develop your child’s early literacy and group interaction skills in a fun and relaxed setting. StoryTime uses the Every Child Ready To Read pre-literacy programming. Current child development research has identified 6 key skills for toddlers and preschoolers that will help them to become successful readers in school. StoryTime helps build these skills using stories related to a theme, songs, rhymes & rhythm instruments, and a simple craft. New StoryTimers are always welcome! September’s themes are: Colours, Apples, Firefighters, and Fall. The first Friday of the month (Sept. 7) is geared to toddlers.

LEGO Club (Sat. Sept. 8 & 29, 1:00pm): Our popular LEGO Club is back for fall. Join us for a brick-filled hour of building fun for ages 5-12.
