This special storytime for newborns to 1 year will introduce babies and caregivers to practices designed to give them a head start on early literacy. We will read, learn baby sign language, sing, and infant tummy time flash cards,

Young children and their accompanying adults are invited to the library every week for stories, activities, and music with friends!

Practice reading in a fun, supportive environment with a four-legged friend! Therapy dogs from Heeling Partners of the Roaring Fork Valley will be at the library to listen, encourage, and enhance each young reader’s experience. There will be 15-minute time slots for readers (1st-8th grade), and advance registration is required. The library will have books kids can read, but it is preferred for readers to bring their own book to meet their reading level. For the well being of the dogs, only the readers will be allowed in the room with the dogs and specialists.

Join friends at the library to SPARK your imagination. We’ll build, create, explore, concoct, and invent together!
