January Budding Bookworms Storytime (Ages 2 to 5): Wednesdays

Budding Bookworms is a Wednesday storytime for ages 2 to 5 that meets weekly 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 allow caregivers to introduce their children to good literature, encourage growth in children's literacy skills, and promote the library as an enjoyable place where learning is fun. This month we are reading about art and the artist inside of everyone. Our crafts will all be process art, which emphasizes the making, not the final product. Letting kids do their own thing is very important at this age! There will be no storytime on January 1^st, due to the New Year’s Day closure. Budding Bookworms is free to the public, but please register your child, so we can be prepared with supplies to enhance their experience. To register, visit www.perry.lib.ia.us and click on our Events Calendar, call the library at 515-465-3569, or speak with a librarian.
