Laptime for Pipsqueaks
Laptime for Pipsqueaks
This storytime utilizes "lap bounces," fingerplays, songs, and picture books to underline the importance of talking, singing, and reading with babies. Puppets, shakers, and colorful scarves also engage our littlest patrons and encourage caregiver/child interaction.
If you are new to Storytimes, please register to receive reminders and any schedule changes. Walk-ins are also welcome!
Rachel Izes is the coordinator for the Library's Early Literacy Program.
