Story Time
Join us every Friday morning at 10:30AM for story time!
Our story times give children and their caregivers an interactive way to learn, play, and connect together. Each program includes the five basic practices of Every Child Ready to Read—reading, writing, singing, talking, and playing—helping children develop the foundations they will need to become successful readers before starting school, all while strengthening the caregiver-child bond.
Through shared books, songs and rhymes, conversations, movement, and playful activities, caregivers support their children’s early literacy development. Additionally, story time creates opportunities for caregivers and children to explore new concepts and ideas, learn new words to expand their vocabulary, and use their imaginations.
Please feel free to take a break or step out with your child at any time if they need a little reset—there’s no pressure to stay for the whole story time!

Pajama Story Time Series
As the evenings grow cooler, families are invited to wind down with the Pajama Story Time Series in November. Children 3 years old to 7 years old are encouraged to wear their favorite pajamas or comfy clothing and enjoy bedtime-themed stories, songs, and calming activities.
Pajama story time provides a cozy atmosphere that promotes family reading routines and helps children prepare for a restful night of sleep.

Hawk Creek Nature Show
Join us on Thursday, December 10 at 4:00PM in the Howe Gallery to see the Hawk Creek Nature Center present on Myths, Magic, & Mystery of Mammals, featuring some live mammals.
A synopsis from the Hawk Creek Wildlife Center:
“Mammals may be the most familiar species to us, but how much do we really know about them? If you’ve ever wanted to learn more about what’s hanging out in your backyard, local park, or beyond, then this program is for you! We look at the way animals survive, including some of their amazing adaptations, and dispel the misconceptions surrounding them”.
This program is funded by the Schumann grant.
