School Age Storytimes

The Point Reyes Library is offering storytimes for young school age children, with Judy Buchanan, beginning in October and continuing through the school year.



Bilingual Baby Bounce

Starting Thursday, November 5th st at 1:30 p.m. and continuing every other Thursday, Bilingual Baby Bounce Storytimes for infants and crawlers will be offered at the Point Reyes Library.

 

This is not an ordinary storytime. There will be lots of action including rhymes, singing, fingerplays, bounces, puppets, and fun. This interactive baby storytime encourages language development, increases children’s knowledge of their world, and promotes closeness between caregivers and babies. The combination of rhymes, movement, music, and repetition has been shown to promote the development of pre-reading skills.

 

Nancy Hemmingway of the Point Reyes Library and Ana Maria Ramirez of the West Marin Literacy Program have been working on this bilingual program for many weeks, and now we look forward to sharing it with you and your baby. Please join us for this exciting new program, and plan to stay awhile to meet other parents and caregivers of very young children!

Bring your knitting project to our weekly knitting group.  All levels are welcome. An experienced knitter is on hand to answer any questions. Every Thursday from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.
