Play, Learn, and Grow Together! 

From September 2 through September 30, our regular Patty Cake Baby Story Time will be replaced by the Play and Grow Family Place Workshops. Baby Story Time will return on October 7.

Join us for this special 5-week parent-child workshop designed to support early childhood development while strengthening the bond between children and their caregivers. Children ages 1–3 will enjoy hands-on play with toys and activities that encourage creativity, exploration, and learning.

As part of our Summer Reading Program and the Texas America 250 celebration, join us for a journey from the prehistoric past to our modern frontier! Randolph Watson, a volunteer wildlife rehabilitator and educator with the Houston SPCA Wild Center of Texas, will give a presentation titled "Peaceful Coexistence with Native Texas Wildlife". 

Join us on Tuesdays at 10:30 am for Baby Story Time! This 30-minute Story Time program is designed for babies from birth to 18 months old. We share books, songs, rhymes, music, bubbles, and toys! We also learn some early literacy tips and activities. It’s a great way to meet other caregivers and to give your baby a chance to socialize.

Siblings are always welcome.

This program is held in our library meeting room.

No registration or tickets required.
