Programs for The Littles are planned for 3-5 year olds to attend with an adult caregiver.  Those a bit older or younger are welcome to attend, but not all activities will be suitable for the littlest our our littles.  Programs will last about an hour. On June 18th at 9am we will read “Dinosaur vs. The Library” by Bob Shea.  We will be creating a dinosaur garden and plan to be outside working with plants and soil. Littles may count their books for reading points to earn a reading medal (50 points). Books count for reading patch collections (25 points per patch). They also count for the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Program. All children’s points will be tallied for the Reading Challenge between the Adults and the Kids.
