The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., is offering several exciting storytime programs for kids of all ages.
You'll find the library's enthusiastic storytellers on the road this week as they perform two events for kids from ages 3-8. On Thursday, January 15, a preschool storytime will be presented at Tyler Domer Recreation Center from 1:30-2:00 p.m., featuring fun and interactive stories and music. On Saturday, January 17, a storyteller will be present at JavaVino Café at 424 Main St., to present an hour of stories and a simple craft to kids ages 3-8 and their families.
The library will also 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 30 min. events. The 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.
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., Wednesdays from 4:30-5:30 p.m. and Thursdays from 4:30-5:30 pm. This is a fun way for kids to practice reading to a non-judgmental and gentle listener. Time slots available on a first-come/first-served basis. This season's Ruff Readers program will begin on Monday, Jan. 19, 2009.
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. 26 from 6:30-7:30 pm. Join our storytellers as we celebrate the life and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
All storytime events are free and open to the public. No registration is necessary.
