Virtual Story Time

Join Miss Sparkles live for an online story time, or watch later when it works best for you.

Toddler Story Time

This story time focuses on songs and books because we are teaching children to love and appreciate stories, and we are also helping them learn how to attend a library story time. Singing also helps develop language, sounds, and patterns, which all builds on your child's early literacy skills. There are no puppets used during Toddler Story Time so that the focus can be on the stories, songs, and books.

Teen HQ Walk-In Hours

Walk-in hours are times when library staff is present, and technology and gaming are available to use in HQ. During regular Library hours when walk-in times are not available, HQ will be available for individual or group study by teens in grades 6-12 by accessing a key from the Adult Information Desk. Teens are required to show a school or photo ID to Library staff in order to use the room. If teens do not have a school ID, they can ask to have one made by the Library staff. They should stop by the Children's Information Desk to inquire. Electronics and other select items are only available for check-out use during HQ walk-in hours when the room is monitored by Library staff or volunteers.
