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
Learn to play chess or play against others. Open to young people ages 8–18. Chess is mentored by Robert Bemben and Robin Ray.
 Code Club
Does your child love video games? Would you love to have them learn useful skills and exercise their mind? Try Code Club! Kids love being able to create their own video games and websites, and in the process they will gain useful technology skills.
 Graphic Novel Club
Do you love reading graphic novels? Do you like talking comics? Explore a graphic novel (they are J GR NVL in the library catalog) each meet up! We'll talk about the book of the month, do an activity, and everyone gets to keep the book. Graphic Novel Club is relevant for ages 8-12.
 Little Waves with Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra
Little Waves is a musical children's program series hosted by the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra that allows very young people (and their grown-ups!) to explore the world of orchestra through story and in person musical experiences. Each session includes a multimedia musical storybook time with our percussionist (and storyteller) Tim Mocny as well a chance to see one or more of the many wonderful components of the orchestra up close! Little Waves is relevant for children ages 4-10.

Tweens (ages 9-12)

 STEAM Tweens
STEAM Tweens is a monthly program just for tweens ages 9-12! Focus is on science, technology, engineering, art, and math.
