Preschool Storytime is an interactive program for children which features stories, fingerplays and songs for youngsters ages 3 to 5 years.  They are engaging programs which share reading and stories in a casual setting that encourages children to enjoy reading for fun, while they also interact with others their own age.  No sign up is required for these sessions.

The Play and Learn program  provides an opportunity for children birth to 5 years old and their parents or caregivers to play with a variety of toys that promote pre-literacy and pre-reading skills. Little ones can learn while they play at the library on Tuesday mornings from 11:00-1200.
