Children’s Story Times Return at Greenwich Library

children-summer-reading

Make Greenwich Library storytimes part of your family routine this fall and instill a love for reading in your children. Storytimes are back starting Tuesday, Sept. 4 in the Children’s Room at Greenwich Library.

Storytimes are a fun, social activity and an important foundation for developing early literacy skills. Singing, talking, finger playing and listening to stories build concept knowledge, phonological awareness and a child’s vocabulary. A child is learning about the world around them and the wonderful words used in speaking and reading. Shared and interactive reading helps your child get ready to read and develop a life long love of books.

As always, there’s a full slate of captivating drop-in storytimes for toddlers and preschoolers in the Children’s Room, including Fiesta de los Cuentos, Tales for Tots, Story Crafts and more throughout the month. Our talented Greenwich Library Children’s Room Staff carefully select materials and incorporate stories, songs, movement and finger plays into many storytimes. Check the Library’s online calendar for details.

In addition to storytimes, Petite Concerts return on Tuesday, September 25. The popular Science Saturday series for children ages 5-8 with Ms. Lauren returns Saturday, Sept. 8 at 11 a.m. Registration is required on the Library’s calendar. And STEAM Saturdays, a series for children ages 8-12, launches on Saturday, Sept. 22 at 3:30 p.m. This month, participants will construct a rubber band propelled car. Registration is required on the Library’s calendar.

Registration for Baby Lapsit Fall Session I begins on Monday, August 20 and will continue until the program is full. This pre-registered program is for infants up to 12 months and a caregiver. Babies enjoy nursery rhymes, simple stories, songs, finger plays and movements. Thursday morning (9:45) and afternoon (1:15) sessions are available. Fall Session I dates are Sept. 20, 27, Oct. 4, 11, & 18 (five week session). Register on the Library’s calendar, in person, or by calling 203-622-7940.
