This class will introduce participants to Microsoft Powerpoint, Microsoft’s program for making slideshow presentations. You will learn how to open and create a new slideshow, add content into each slide, and basic formatting and styling of slides. Basic familiarity with computers (turning on the computer, using the mouse, basic typing) is required. We will be using library computers, so no need to bring your own!

Discovery Time with Miss Christine is a fun and engaging story time for the whole family! Each week, we build early literacy skills through the five essential practices: sing, talk, read, write, and play. These simple, everyday activities support language development, spark creativity, and boost comprehension, while also laying a strong foundation for future STEAM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math).
Mother Goose is a gentle early-learning program, which focuses on the interaction between parent(s) and their little ones. We provide developmentally appropriate opportunities such as play, sing-alongs, and rhymes. Come join the fun and meet new friends. We look forward to seeing you!
