Join us for fun books, songs, and rhymes!! This storytime is intended for children in preschool but all kids and their families are welcome to join.

Babytime  – Tuesdays at 10:00am in the Creswell Library 

Join us on Tuesdays for songs, fingerplays, lap bounces, scarves, egg shakers, stories, and bubbles! This storytime is 20 minutes long so we can wrap up before the littlest get too squirmy.

Toddler Toy Time – The third Tuesday of the month at 10:45 am in the Creswell Library 

Feel free to come to Baby Storytime and then stay for this fun playtime, or just drop in! We will put out some toys during this 45-minute playtime. Suggested ages 1-3, older siblings welcome.

Come dressed in your pajamas and bring your stuffies for this storytime. This storytime is a fun event for all ages and will have songs, rhymes, and picture books. 

May Reads for June Book Club

Book Club for Kids met to chat about "Lexi Magill and the Teleportation Tournament" on 5/2 at 4pm via Zoom. Our next book is "Hoot".  We will chat about this dynamic adventure on 6/6 at 4pm.  Read more about the book from the publisher.

Hoot features a new kid and his new bully, alligators, some burrowing owls, a renegade eco-avenger, and several extremely poisonous snakes.

Everybody loves Mother Paula's pancakes. Everybody, that is, except the colony of cute but endangered owls that live on the building site of the new restaurant. Can the awkward new kid and his feral friend prank the pancake people out of town? Or is the owls' fate cemented in pancake batter?
de, this interactive read won't disappoint!
