The following programs are being offered at the Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St.
Story-time Opportunities
Toddler and Preschool storytimes are underway and will be held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10am in the Youth Services Dept. Two different age appropriate programs are held simultaneously to accommodate different learning levels. Both programs are designed to teach crucial early literacy skills.
Children ages 1-3 are invited to sit with their parents in a 20 minute storytime featuring songs, fingerplay, and short stories. Children ages 4-5 who are able to sit independently are invited to attend a longer preschool storytime offering more complex stories and activities. These are drop-in events and no registration is needed to attend. Due to space limitations, day cares and pre-schools interested in attending these storytimes are asked to contact the Youth Services Department at 262.636.9245 to set up a separate session for their children.
A monthly After School Storytime is being offered for kids ages 4-10, with the first of the year scheduled for Tuesday, January 25. from 3:30-4:30pm. Storyteller Keiko Skow shares her favorite stories and her imaginative craft ideas and activities with those in attendance. All children must be accompanied by a parent. Registration is requested and may be done by calling the library at 262.636.9245 or by registering online at www.racinelibrary.info.
Family Fun Nights are special activity nights for families looking for some quality time together. Held once a month on Thursday evenings at 6:30pm, they feature stories, crafts, activities and special guests.
