The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., is offering several exciting storytime programs for kids of all ages.
- The library will start its winter season of popular preschool storytimes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10 a.m., from January 20-March 11. Children from birth to age 5 may attend these free drop-in events. The 30 minute programs feature fingerplays, stories, music and more designed to develop age-appropriate early literacy skills. Children who are able to sit in storytime on their own may attend the Preschool program. Children who prefer to be accompanied by an adult may attend the Infant & Toddler program. Both programs are held simultaneously at 10 a.m. No registration is necessary.
- School age children in grades 1-5 are invited to spend 15 min. reading to one of the library's specially-trained listening dogs in the Ruff Readers Program. Our canine friends visit the library on Mondays from 4-5 p.m., and Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4:30-5:30 p.m. This is fun way for kids to practice reading to a non-judgmental and gentle listener. Time slots are available on a first-come/first-served basis or participants may call ahead to reserve a spot. For more information contact Youth Services at 262.636.9245.
- Kids ages 4-10 and their families are also invited to attend "Adventures in Stories," an hour-long monthly event where participants explore different topics through stories and crafts. The next event will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 27 from 6:30-7:30 pm. Join our storytellers as we celebrate the life and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Registration is suggested and my be done by calling Youth Services at 636.9245.
