The Children's Rooms at these libraries are excellent resources for stimulating learning and entertainment that isn't limited to story times. During the school year, a variety of craft, science or activity programs for elementary or middle-school ages are offered on afternoons or weekends. Family programs may feature music, theater groups, storytelling or author presentations. Library storytime sessions are designed for children in four age groups. Lapsit Storytime allows babies under 18 months to interact with a parent or caregiver while they enjoy stories, songs, rhymes and movement activities. Toddler Time offers stories, songs and interactive finger plays for children ages 18 months through 3 years and their parents. Preschool Storytime may include films as well as songs and stories and is geared for ages 3 through 5. All the Storytime sessions are held weekly on different days at the different library branches, giving you a choice of schedules. The library also offers summer programs for school age children. All programs are free and open to the public. Call the library's Youth Services office at the number above to inquire about schedules and registration, which may be limited for some events.
