Check Out the New Children's Programs at George Bruce
Guess what?! We've got new programs for children (and their caregivers) at the George Bruce Library!
Both are storytime themed programs that encourage child and caregiver participation, and foster new relationships, by being able to meet and interact with other local children and their caregivers. A win-win for everyone!
Here are the details for all the programs...
Babies Book Club (Children 0-18 months) is a 30 minute lapsit program using songs, rhymes and stories to introduce little ones to the joys of reading. Kids in this club receive a free book in the last session every month.
Toddler Storytime (Children 18-36 months) is a 40 minute program with age geared stories, songs and activites perfect for caregiver and child, especially kids learning to walk and talk.
PreSchool Storytime (Children 3-5) uses stories and activites to foster literacy readiness for school, and gain interest in reading via play, stories, conversation, and songs.
Please note the following:
Pre-registration is required for all storytime programs. This can be done in person at the branch, by phone or online registration. (Be sure to search and select the program for which you want to register)
Caregivers must accompany children during the storytime programs. We encourage children and caregivers to participate in our storytime programs!
Register and come see the great work we do here promoting literacy to kids at George Bruce.
