Budding Bookworms Storytime (Ages 2 to 5): Wednesdays

The Perry Public Library is excited to announce our new storytime, Budding Bookworms, a weekly Wednesday storytime for ages 2 to 5 from 10:30 am to 11:15 am in the Community Room. This storytime combines our Toddler and Preschool storytimes into a fun, engaging 45-minute program that includes books, singing and dancing, and simple crafts. Our goal is to provide caregivers with an opportunity to introduce their children to good literature, encourage growth in children's literacy skills (reading, talking, singing, playing, and writing), and promote the library as an enjoyable place where learning is fun. The theme for October is Emotions and Feelings. We will read books and talk about some basic emotions and how to recognize them, as well as learn some basic mindfulness tools and affirmations. We may even try a little bit of yoga! This program is free and open to the public. This program is free to the public, but please register your child, so we can be prepared with supplies to enhance their experience.
