May Programs
Take & Makes

Storytime
Storytimes focus on active learning and fun on Tuesday mornings at 10:00 am, through May 10. Early literacy and STEM concepts come to life through stories, music, movement, and enrichment activities with themes to celebrate the arrival of spring! Storytimes are designed for 2–4-year-olds, accompanied by their caregiver, but enjoyable for the whole family. Come early May 10 to enjoy Birth, Babies, and Beyond. Stay and play in the Romper Room after Storytime.

Stuffed animals can be picked up the following day, May 13th, at the checkout desk, and photos of their adventures will be emailed out that day as well!
How Does Your Garden Grow?
Families with children of all ages are invited to an evening storytime celebrating the wonders of the season on Wednesday May 18 at 6:00 pm. Sing, dance, celebrate dirt, meet wiggly worms, and help beautify the library entrance with colorful flowers!
