What's Happening at Preschool Storytime this week?

Today begins our new Fall session of Children's Storytimes! We're looking forward to seeing all the children and their families singing and dancing in our auditorium!

Tonight we have Family Storytime from 7-7:30 pm with Mrs. Brant. This is open to all ages so that our families can enjoy some time together listening to stories and learning new songs. Then on Wednesday morning our 2 and 3 yr olds and their caregivers will join Ms. Adams for Tot and Toddlers from 10:15-10:45 am and 11:15-11:45 am.
On Thursday mornings, we have a storytime just right for the littlest babies (0-23 months) with Mrs. Haney in Tyke Tales from 10:15-10:45 am. And at 11:15-11:45 am Mrs. Haney will read stories to the 4 and 5 yr olds (not yet in Kindergarten).

There is still time to sign your child or family up for our Fall Storytime sessions by calling the Children's Department at 330-832-5037 or stopping in the library.

So what's happening in our Preschool Storytimes the week of September 10?

Even though it's gotten a little chillier, we're not quite ready to give up warm summer days at the beach. Our "At the Sea" storytime this week will include tales and songs about ocean animals, pirates, and having fun at the beach.

In Fidgety Fish by Ruth Galloway, Fidgety Fish's mom gets tired of his restless energy and sends him out in the ocean to swim until he's tired. He meets lots of other ocean animals until he runs into Big Fish and a lot of trouble!

"I Spy with my little eye"---lots of sea creatures in this interactive counting book. We'll read I Spy Under the Sea by Edward Gibbs and try to guess which animal is peeking through on the next page.

And in a twist on the classic "Three Little Pigs" story, we'll hear Ken Geist's The Three Little Fish and the Big Bad Shark. In this story the three fish made their houses out of seaweed, sand, and a wooden ship. Guess which house held up against the Big Bad Shark?

Hope to see you at story time!
