Nursery Rhyme Storytime
Wednesday, March 26th 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!

Take a Leap Read to the Cats
Thursday, March 27th at 6:30pm
at Bailey's Cat Haven

**PROGRAM HAS BEEN FILLED TO CAPACITY! NO MORE SPOTS ARE AVAILABLE!**

March is the purrfect time to try Reading to the Cats at Bailey's Cat Haven, located across the street from South Park Library. Reading to animals at a shelter can give the reader and the cat some much needed one-on-one time with a companion 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 to read to the cats, or you can bring a favorite book."

Parking is limited at Bailey's Cat Haven, 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.

Park Rangers - Beaver Habitat Exploration
Saturday, April 5th at 2:00pm
at the Home Economics Building in the Allegheny County Park
(For Children ages 5-12)

Beaver dams aren't just essential for beavers - they're also a vital part of the local ecology!

Join us for this Allegheny County Park Ranger Program, where we'll dive into the fascinating world of beavers and their impact on the environment.

Beavers are second only to humans when it comes to shaping the landscapes they inhabit. Discover their habitats, learn how they construct dams and lodges, and explore both the positive and negative effects they have on their surroundings. Participants will even get hands-on as they create their very own "beaver dam" to see if it can hold back water as effectively as the real thing!

This program will take place at the Home Economics Building in the Allegheny County Park, located at 2050 Buffalo Drive South Park, PA 15129, and is perfect for children aged 5 to 12. (Parents, you’ll need to sign up too)!

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