Purple Crayon Storytime

Children ages 2-6 are invited to this South Park Library storytime. It's all about the purple crayon. We will start every week by introducing ourselves to the group then reading and listening to our weekly book. The children will continue to work on "SIGHT WORD OF THE DAY." Plus, we will be reading each of the Harold and the Purple Crayon books. Kids will also be interacting with the other kids and making friends along the way. The fun doesn’t end there, the kids will also have the opportunity to make a craft that ties in to the book we just read. This storytime will allow the kids to release their creativity!

Space is limited! Please register for this program online here.

Nursery Rhyme Storytime
Wednesday, January 22nd at 10:30am
Children (Ages 0-2)

We will have rhymes, lifts, and bounces. There will be music, bubbles and smiles. Sharing nursery rhymes at a young age helps children recognize Jack and Jill when they show up later in a rhyme or in a new story. These deep connections contribute to children’s understanding of narrative norms as well as fuel print motivation as they enjoy revisiting old friends in new stories. This is a great way to create a bond with you child, grandchild or just a special child. So be sure to join us for Jack and Jill, Humpty Dumpty and Twinkling Stars, and so much more!

Children's Book Club: The Wild Robot Protects
Thursday, January 23rd at 5:15pm

Let’s get to ready to read and have fun!

The lovable robot, Roz (The Wild Robot), was last seen being ripped away from her goose son, Brightbill, and hauled unwillingly back to the factory for the Makers to repair and reassign her. She is reactivated on Hilltop Farm, where Mr. Shareef expects her to tend to farm duties, including caring for the many cows and making repairs around the farm. She is programmed to obey orders, including those from Mr. Shareef's children, Jaya and Jad. Roz is homesick for her prior life on the remote island with her goose son, and all of her other animal friends, but she feels trapped, and fears Mr. Shareef will find out her secret—that she is "defective" and able to think, plan, and speak the languages of the animals. Roz is torn: while she enjoys helping on the farm and spending time with the children, she desires a reunion with her son even more. With the children's help and blessing, and the cows' assistance, Roz develops an escape plan.

Parents need to know that The Wild Robot Protects is the third volume of a series by author-illustrator Peter Brown. It picks up the adventures of Roz the robot as she struggles to save her animal friends from a poison tide that threatens their island home. She leaves her island home to stop the poison tide. The kids loved this book. So we are reading the 3rd book in the series...THE WILD ROBOT PROTECTS. Readers need not have read the previous installments to enjoy this sequel!

Take a Leap: Read to the Cats
Thursday, January 30th at 6:30pm
at Bailey's Cat Haven (across the street from the Library)

**PROGRAM HAS BEEN FILLED TO CAPACITY**

2025 is the purrfect time to try Reading to the Cats!

We will be reading to the cats at Bailey's Cat Haven, located across the street from the library. Reading to animals at a shelter can give the reader and the cat some much needed one-on-one time in a calm, non-stressful setting. It can also help skittish cats develop social skills that give them a better chance of being adopted. Everyone participating in this program, will have a book that they will read to the cats. Parking is limited, but you are permitted to park in Gil's parking lot and walk over.

Space is very limited! Please register for this program online here.
