Programs @ Your Library

We apologize for the delay this month!
There are lots of programs and fun things to do, don't miss out!


Sing, Sign, and Storytime

Sing, Sign and Storytime is wonderful fun and educational too! Each session consists of some singing, some stories, and a few simple American Sign Language (ASL) signs. The hope of this program is to educate younger children to communicate more readily even if they are as yet unable to verbally respond.

Appropriate for preschool age children.
