Children’s Programs

Story time at the library is a wonderful way to capture the imagination and introduce your child to a love of reading. The Children’s Library offers free story time programs, specially designed for children. Preschool Story Time is for children 4 years of age and younger and is available most Mondays and Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. from October through April. All Children’s Library story times are thematic with stories, shared songs, and arts and crafts projects addressing the program’s educational theme.

Family Story Time is for children 8 years of age and younger and is available at 10:30 a.m. two Saturdays a month, November through April. An arts and crafts activity will follow each story time.

Join us as Lilly shares her book, Life and Lilly, in the Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden. This Children’s Library family program will include book reading, Lilly Pulitzer inspired arts & crafts stations, and refreshments. Following the reading, attendees will have the opportunity to visit with Lilly Leas Ferreira, as well as purchase signed copies of her book.

This program is designed for independently reading school-age children (and their families).  Book Clubs further develop literacy skills and encourage not only the sharing of thoughts and opinions but respect amongst readers. 

The Children’s Library offers a monthly cooking, art and floral design classes on select weekdays for school-age children in Kindergarten and up. There is no charge to attend weekly school-age programs, but reservations are required, and space is limited.

The Society of the Four Arts is proud to offer programming dedicated to families. The following programs can be enjoyed by adults and children of all ages.
