Children’s Story Hour/Peg Donavan Littlest Listeners

Join us Tuesdays at 4:15 at the library for a program geared to children ages 3-5.

Sometimes we read a story, sometimes someone tells us a story or sometimes we share an interactive hour of fun led by a parent, sibling or young adult.

Children must be accompanied by a responsible sitter or adult.

Also stay tuned for details on the ever popular Peg Donavan's Littlest Listeners Story Hour returning for two sessions in 2013.

The Young Adventurers Series

Many young islanders have traveled far and others have found adventure close to home.

If you have a journey to share, we encourage you to become part of our Young Adventurers Series. If you know of someone who might be appropriate for this series, we want to hear about that too.

This program is designed for teenagers and young adults and usually relies on a mixed media format but anyone who would like to share his or her adventure can feel free to contact us.

Puzzles

For many years the library has had jigsaw puzzles set up in the Martha Ferguson Memorial Reading room. It's the perfect activity for young and old. Also a nice reason to escape the house on a rainy day!

So stop on in, put in a couple of pieces and meet new people!
