Here at the Amherst town Library, children and their families are very important to us...we know that early introduction to libraries helps to develop lifelong readers! We offer story programs for children from the time they're born right up until they enter first grade.
(birth to 24 mos.) Caregivers present
Our "baby" group meets on Tuesday mornings and offers an opportunity for babies and their caregivers to gather for rhymes,songs and puppets. This 30-minute program emphasizes traditional rhymes that reinforce language patterns and provide for parent/child interaction. A simple book or two intended for this age is generally highlighted.
Terrific Two's and Three's Thursdays at 10:00
(2 and 3-yr.-olds) Caregivers present
The Thursday story time offers a variety of books, songs, finger plays and felt board activities for our young preschooler. Two or three stories geared to the younger child will be presented, and every 45-minute session concludes with a simple craft.
Book Bunch Wednesdays at 11:30
(4 - 6-yr.-olds)
Our Wednesday storytime is designed with the longer attention span of the older child in mind. These action-packed 30 minute programs include a wide variety of books, fingerplays, and songs.
