Nursery Rhyme Storytime
Wednesday, April 30th 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!

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

Take a Leap - Read to the Cats
Thursday, May 29th at 6:30pm
at Bailey's Cat Haven
Children (Ages 5 and up)

Children are invited to take a leap and "Read to the Cats" at Bailey's Cat Haven, located across the street from South Park Township Library (next to Gil's Cafe). Reading to animals at a shelter can give children some much needed one-on-one time with a companion in a calm, non-stressful setting. It can also help skittish dogs and cats develop social skills that give them a better chance of being adopted. Everyone participating will get to pick which book they would like to 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 for this program. There will be a limited waiting list when all spots are filled. Please register for this program online here.
