•Family Spring Trivia, Wednesday, April 16, 6 p.m..
Fun for the whole family with this family-friendly trivia game. Form your family team and come answer questions about books, history, movies, music, and TV shows with the chance to win some fun prizes!
Please register one member of your team, then, in the “special notes” section put the number of players that will be in your team. (It’s okay if that number changes, this at least gives us an idea of how many people to expect).
•Tots & Toddlers, Thursday, April 17 and Wednesday, April 30, 10:30 a.m..
Join us for songs, stories, and dancing. Your child will receive a take home craft to complete. Please register on the YPL website.
•Literacy Centers, Tuesday, April 22 – Friday, April 25
Stop by anytime Tuesday-Thursday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to experience a parent/child guided opportunity for hands-on literacy instruction. Literacy Centers are designed to give children ample opportunity to practice the very important skills of listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
•Chalk the Walk. Friday, April 25, 11 a.m..
Join us for decorating the sidewalk outside of the library. Chalk will be provided. Weather permitting
•Read with Paws, Saturday, April 26, 10:30 a.m..
Children can come to the library, select a book, and read to a furry friend. All therapy dogs and handlers have been certified by an accredited organization. This program was designed originally because children feel less pressure to read to a dog than an adult so it was meant to be a way to help struggling readers or even just encourage reading. It is open to all levels of readers and non-readers. Please register for your 15 minute time slot on the YPL website. Space is limited. If you are unable to attend, please contact the library.
•Artful Beginnings (preschool), Monday, April 28, 10:30 a.m..
Check out this program. We will read a book then create a fun craft project. Please register. Dress for the mess.
If you have multiple children, please register each child separately. Thank you.
