Best for babies who are not yet walking. Join us in our new meeting room for stories and fun for babies and caregivers! No registration needed.

Babies and their caregivers are welcome to join us for our FREE and FUN story- and play-based early literacy classes that use the five important early literacy practices of "Talking, Singing, Reading, Writing & Playing".  

Storytimes led by library staff trained in the Every Child Ready to Read curriculum are “early literacy classes" - all the fun and learning of storytime, but with tips and guidance on easy ways to help your baby develop pre-reading skills tailored to our earliest learners.

Stay after Early Literacy Class for a fun play time! Connect with other parents while your baby plays with tactile activities tied in to the weekly class theme.

Our fall themes are:

• 9/17: Welcome!
• 9/24: Animal sounds
• 10/1: Sharing
• 10/8: Shapes
• 10/15: At the farm
• 10/22: Numbers
