The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., is offering several exciting storytime programs for kids of all ages this fall.
The library will begin its fall season of popular preschool storytimes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10 a.m., beginning September 22-November 10. Children ages birth - 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.
Adults may select from two storytimes depending upon the needs of the child. Children who are able to sit in storytime on their own may attend the Preschool program where content is geared towards ages 3-5; children who prefer to be accompanied by an adult may attend the Baby & Me program where material is appropriate for ages birth-2. Both programs are held simultaneously at 10 a.m. No registration is necessary.
Preschool Open Playtime will also be offered on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10:45 am-12:00 pm, and on Fridays from 11 am-2 pm. These free drop-in play dates will be held in the Martin Room and offer kids ages 1-5 games, toys and activities to promote early literacy skill development. All young participants must be accompanied by an adult. 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 beginning September 21. The canine friends visit the library on Mondays and Tuesdays from 4-5 pm, Wednesdays from 3-4 pm, and Thursdays from 4:30-5:30 pm. Time slots are available on a first come/first served basis or may be reserved by contacting the Youth Services Dept at 262.636.9245. This is a fun way for kids to practice reading to a non-judgmental and gentle listener.
Afternoon and evening family storytimes are being scheduled for the fall months as well. These programs generally feature stories, activities and simple crafts for families to share together. Contact the Youth Services Department at 262.636.9245 for program dates, times and topics.
All storytime events are free and open to the public. For a complete up-to-the-minute account of what's new at the library, visit us on-line.
