A new reading therapy dog is joining our Children’s Room – meet Lucy!
Each child gets 15 minutes of private time with Lucy to practice his or her reading skills. They may involve family members if they wish. This is a great confidence booster for reading aloud in class!
You may register for a time slot by calling 472-2300 or drop by to make a reservation for a reading session. There is no on-line registration for this program.
Wear your pajamas and bring a stuffed animal to enjoy bedtime stories and winding-down songs at the end of the day.
Children aged 3-6 are welcome to attend, siblings are always welcome and no registration is necessary for this evening story time.
Have you ever wanted to learn the ukulele?
This instrument is among the easiest to learn and fun to play, making it a popular choice for all ages! Join Let's Play Music & Make Art for a hands-on workshop. You will come away from this 45 minute workshop knowing basic chord forms and everything you need to know to play some simple two to three chord songs. Dazzle your friends, family and yourself with your new found musical talent.
If you already have a ukulele, feel free to bring it. If not, we’ll have several on hand for you to try.
