Our Programs
The youth services staff is dedicated to promoting early literacy. Children who are introduced to books, music and other forms of language before they enter school are known to be more successful in the classroom. Our storytimes and babytimes will help introduce your child to different forms of literacy.
For school age children, we also offer special programming throughout the year, including school vacation activities and a summer program. We also offer programming and resources for homeschoolers. Please check back often to see what new programs we offer!
