Early childhood

Baby Storytime
Join Miss Lisa for music, movement and playtime with your baby. We will help little ones build early literacy skills while bouncing, singing, exploring board books and playing together. For babies 3 to 24 months and their grown-up(s).
Storytime
Talk, sing, read, write, play! That’s what we’ll do today! Storytime models these five practices to support development of early literacy skills. Grown ups are encouraged to participate in the fun and learning! Storytime is for toddlers and preschoolers.

Kids

Chess

Chess meets September - May and is mentored by Robert Bemben and Robin Ray. Young people ages 8–18 are welcome to join. Chess tournaments are USCF rated.

LEGO Challenge
LEGO challenges will be given to builders and they will have a time limit to create a masterpiece. We supply the Legos, you supply the imagination. Come build with us. Ages 8-11.

Growing Readers Together

adult and child gardening lettersIf your K-3rd grader is reading below grade level and attends school within the library's service area, email Alex Dailey or call 231-758-3112 or email Val Meyerson or call 231-758-3120 for further information. 

Growing Readers Together is a three-pronged approach for K-3rd grade students who are below reading level to enhance their reading proficiency: direct tutoring for students, Family Literacy Nights to help families learn more skills to support their student’s achievements, and materials for students to take home.
