Once Upon a Lap

This intimate program brings babies and toddlers together with their caregivers for interactive storytelling and movement. Your little one will experience nursery rhymes, songs, fingerplays, and gentle activities designed to build connection and early learning skills. The six-week session runs through December and is limited to 30 children, creating a cozy environment perfect for the youngest learners (birth through 23 months). Registration is required and opens October 26—you can sign up online or call the main library. Please note that the program has reached capacity, but a waitlist is available with 10 remaining spots. The library asks that you bring only your registered child to support the program's focus on social-emotional development and respectful relationships. This is a wonderful way to spend quality time with your baby while they're exposed to early literacy experiences in a supportive community setting.
