Designed especially for children ages 3–5, this 30-minute hands-on sensory play program encourages learning through exploration, creativity, and discovery. Each week, little learners will engage in fun, interactive activities that help build curiosity, problem-solving skills, and early language and motor development.

Read, sing, and learn together!
Join us every Tuesday at 10:15 a.m. for this engaging storytime designed for children ages 3–5. Through stories, rhymes, songs, and playful activities, children will build important early literacy skills such as oral language, phonological awareness, and print recognition.

After storytime, children can enjoy a simple craft or coloring activity to wrap up the fun. It’s a wonderful way to support early learning while making Storytime magical at the library!

We all know the question. We all dread the question.

The “So, Tell Me About Yourself” workshop is a fast-paced, speed-style mock interview experience where participants practice answering the most common (and most intimidating) interview questions in a low-pressure, supportive environment. Attendees will rotate through short, one-on-one mock interviews designed to improve clarity, confidence, and how they present their story.
