Book Clubs
Join one of our book clubs and have your child attend in-person once a month. Kids connect and read with others their age to discuss a book with one of our staff members. It’s a great way to keep kids reading and learning together throughout the semester while keeping their reading skills sharp.

We engage kids through stories, songs, puppets, rhymes, in research-based programs that integrate early literacy concepts to build knowledge and social skills in a fun and engaging environment. Visit our online calendar for dates and times of our registered and drop-in programs.
