Crosby Edith Fae Cook Cole Branch Library

Dance to Learn is a movement integration program that approaches academic learning from a kinesthetic perspective. Houston Ballet teaching artists work to create lessons that address TEKS in multiple subject areas while building Social Emotional Skills. Shhhh! Don't tell your kids that they are learning! They will be having a blast pretending to dance like dinosaurs! Group size is limited to 25 participants, so be sure to sign up at the front desk.

Once you have signed up, be sure to check in at least 10 minutes before the class starts, otherwise, the spot may be released.

Register for a 30 minute slot for one-on-one help with any of your issues with your computer, phone, or other device!

Slots are 12:00-12:30, 12:30-1:00, 4:00-4:30, and 4:30-5:00.

Join us every Wednesday at 10:30 am for songs, stories and fingerplays designed to develop your child's early literacy skills. Plus there is plenty of time for the children to play and for caregivers to socialize. Fun for  toddlers and their caregivers!

Join us every Tuesday at 10:30 am for stories, songs, fingerplays and crafts using best practices of the Every Child Ready to Read program. You and your children will have fun while honing skills necessary to be ready to read!

Come and join us to create an easy and adorable 3-D Easter Egg Craft! We will make colorful paper Easter eggs with your own designs then make 3-D "grass" holders to display the eggs. All supplied are provided. 

For the month of April, we will combine our toddler story time with our Family Place Parent Child Workshop! Each week we will introduce an early childhood topic with a story and fingerplay. A community expert in each topic will be on hand for one-on-one time with parents while the children will have extra toys and playtime. Topics include: Early Literacy, Nutrition, Developmental Milestones, Speech and Language Development, and Movement. Check with the Crosby Library for the schedule and list of community experts.

Join us on the first Friday of every month for the teen writing club. Bring your writing to share and get feedback from other teens. Any kind of writing is welcome, from short stories to fanfiction, poetry to novels!

You’ll get short prompts, quiet time to work, and the option to share—no pressure, no critiques unless you ask. Bring your ideas, your notebook, and get ready to write!

Ages 13+
