You'll find the library's enthusiastic storytellers on the road the last Saturday of each month as they perform a Saturday morning event for kids ages 3-10 and their families. On Saturday, April 24 at 9:30 am , a storyteller will be present at Cup of Hope, 507 Sixth St., to entertain with an hour of stories and a simple craft. Enjoy a leisurely morning of quality family time and a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.
The library is also offering an After-School Storytime with stories and crafts geared to kids ages 3-10. The next event in this series will be held on Tuesday, April 27 from 3:30-4:30 pm. Storyteller Keiko Skow shares her favorite stories and her imaginative craft ideas with those in attendance.
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. These canine friends visit the library after school on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. This is a 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. Call the library at 262.636.9245 for available times and to reserve a reading spot.
Kids ages 5-10 and their families are also invited to attend Family Fun Night. These monthly events explore a variety of topics through stories, games, activities and crafts. The next event will be held on Thursday, April 29 from 6:00-7:30 pm with a special presentation celebrating Dia De Los Niños/Dia De Los Libros or Childrens Day/Book Day. A fun filled storytelling performance by Bilingual Storyteller Kay Weeden, entitled ¡Say Olé!, will feature stories, rhythms and dance in English and Spanish for both English and Spanish speakers. The event is free and no registration is necessary. Younger siblings are welcome to attend this wonderful event.
