Every Wednesday from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm.  Each storytime includes age-appropriate stories, crafts, rhymes, and more for children ages 5 and under.  This will be the final month of Toddler & Preschool Storytime until September, but everyone is welcome to join us for Summer Reading on Mondays starting June 5th from 11-12.

1000 Books Before Kindergarten

This is a great way to read with your preschooler and start your child loving books. We will give you the sheets to keep track of the titles as they are being read. Even if you read the same book more than once it counts. Show us the sheets as they are being completed. There is a measuring chart at the library in the children’s room that tracks your child’s progress. Watch as your child’s name climbs after each sheet of 100 is recorded and they’re progress moves up towards the 1000 books goal. Once completed they will receive a free book of their choice. For more information stop by the library.

500 Books Before Middle School

This is a great way to keep children interested in books, all books read or read to count.  At each level they get a token and surprises at the end!  Sign up with the Youth Librarian.

Cinders & Sparrows by Stefan Bachmann

In a witch’s house, nothing is as it seems. When a scarecrow climbs over the garden wall, delivering twelve-year-old orphan Zita Brydgeborn a letter saying she has inherited a distant castle, she jumps at the chance of adventure. But little does she know that she is about to be thrust into a centuries-old battle between good and evil. Blackbird Castle was once home to a powerful dynasty of witches, all of them now dead under mysterious circumstances. All but Zita. And Zita, unfortuntely, doesn’t know the first thing about being a witch. As she begins lessons in charms and spells with her guardian, Mrs. Cantanker, Zita makes new allies – a crow, a talking marble head, two castle servants just her age named Bram and Minnifer, and the silent ghost of a green-eyed girl. But who is friend and who is foe? Zita must race to untangle her past and find the magic to save the home she’s always hoped for. Because whatever claimed the souls of her family is now after her.
