Family Read-Aloud: Saturdays 2:00-2:30
Cuddle up with your family and enjoy the magic of the read-aloud, featuring engaging literature for listeners of all ages. Crafts and quiet projects welcome to keep little hands busy.
BookBox for Kids
BookBox is a fun and easy way to try new books! Library staff picks a book we think you'll love, based on your reading profile, and package it up with some other fun stuff (that you can keep!) in a monthly subscription box. (For the adult reading profile, click here.) Just print off the form, fill it out, and drop it off at the library. Your first BookBox will be ready for you the first week of next month.
Note for parents: Please feel free to fill out a profile for your pre-reader. We love selecting books for everyone-- no age limits applied!
