StoryTime - Fridays at 10(ish)

Is your child starting school this fall?  Our weekly StoryTime is an excellent way to help your child get ready - by participating in group activities, practicing listening and pre-literacy skills, and developing enthusiasm for books.  

The library also has concept books (letters, numbers, colours, shapes, etc.) and books with rhyme, repetition, phonics activities, and more to encourage language skills and early learning.  Research shows that early literacy programs improve school readiness. 

Join us Fridays at 10(ish) for stories, songs & rhymes and a simple craft.  New StoryTimers are always welcome.

Afterschool Drama Club - Wednesdays around 4:00

 Afterschool Drama Club:
