The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., is pleased to announce its winter session of family programming.
From Jan. 22 through March 12 families of children ages birth-5 may attend a 20-30 minute storytime with their young listeners. Storytimes feature stories, songs, and activities designed to teach early literacy skills. Educational play and craft opportunities are offered following the Tuesday storytimes. Caregivers should select one of the following programs best suited to their child's developmental needs:
Mother Goose Storytime: Wednesdays at 9:30 & 10:30 for children 3 and younger who are accompanied by an adult.
Preschool Storytime: For children 3-5 years of age who are able to sit independently; held on Tuesdays at 2:30 p.m. and Wednesdays at 9:30 & 10:30 a.m.
Family Storytime: For parents and children ages birth to 5; held on Tuesdays at 10 a.m.
In addition to these, the library also offers programs for school age youth:

Ruff Readers: Runs Feb. 4 to March 13 for kids in grades 1-5. Specially-trained "listening" dogs from the Racine Kennel Club and Proper Paws University will be available for 15 min. reading sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-5 p.m. and on Mondays and Thursdays from 4:30-5:30 p.m. Time slots are available on a first come/first serve basis and advance registration is recommended.

Adventures in Stories is a monthly storytelling program for families with children ages 5-10, combining storytelling (sometimes with a bilingual twist), crafts, and other fun activities. Kids explore a different theme for every event. All programs require registration.
