Preschoolers
Discovery Time with Miss Christine is a fun and engaging story time for the whole family! Each week, we build literacy skills through the five essential practices: playing, singing, talking, reading, and writing.
For: Pre-School & Elementary (ages 3 - 10 years old). Younger siblings may participate under the active supervision of a parent or caregiver, provided they are registered and do not disrupt the program.
How to Attend:
Join Michael, Octavia Field Library Branch's Children's Librarian, for an hour of nursery rhymes, storytelling, arts & crafts and playtime. We'll talk, sing, write, read and play, and your prekindergarten age kiddos will have so much fun that they won't even realize they are gaining valuable pre-literacy skills. Ages 0-5.
Join us at the Barbara Bush Branch Library for our very own live puppet show! Mr. David brings his own theatrics to classics with The Puppet Players Present.
This is a program perfect for the whole family. Tickets are available at the Children's desk 15 minutes before the start of Storytime. Capacity is limited, so please pick up a ticket before entering Storytime.
Promotes early literacy skills. The program features reading, singing, talking, writing and playing. We will help give you the resources you need to expand your child’s skills, preparing them to read. Recommended for children ages 2-5 years, it features age appropriate stories, songs, and fingerplays. Story time is an excellent way to bond with your child, boost their vocabulary, and hopefully raise a lifelong reader. Studies have shown that regularly reading to your child can increase their attention span, boost their emotional intelligence, and flex their imagination.
You're invited to attend Story Time every Tuesday at 11 am.
Story Time is a great way for children to build early literacy skills with stories, rhymes and songs. Parents and guardians are encouraged to participate by sitting with children and singing (and learning!) new songs.
Last half hour is craft time! Children of all ages are welcome.
We cannot host daycares or groups.
