History Adventure: Ancient Greece

On Thursday, October 13 at 4:00pm, children in grades 3-4 are invited on a History Adventure to Ancient Greece! During the program, we will read an Interactive History Adventure from Ancient Greece where YOU will choose what happens next. After that is over, we will do some activities from Ancient Greece – so you will get to know what it was like to be there over 2000 years ago. This program requires registration; register here.

Another Session of Alphabits!

Due to our Thursday 10:15am Alphabits class being full, we decided to open up another session. This session will be Thursdays at 11:15am and will begin Thursday, October 6.

Alphabits is an interactive story time for ages 2-5 (and younger siblings) where each week, we use a different letter to be the letter of the week.

Book Babies!

       We have decided to start a Book Babies story time! The story time sessions will be Tuesdays at 10:30am, beginning on October 4. Babies from birth to 12 months (with a favorite adult) enjoy songs, action rhymes, and playtime and share a book together in each lively Book Babies session. Book Babies gives your baby the opportunity to hear lots of language and interaction. Registration is requested.
