Home all day self-isolating can be a challenge, and missing your regular activities with library storytimes doesn't help. The Handley Library System's Youth Department is committed to helping our young patrons make this as enjoyable as possible and this week's storytime is perfect for some at-home enjoyment!
The youth library staff here at Handley Regional Library really misses all of our young patrons during this temporary closing. For this reason, we've been working to bring you content to enjoy at home.
The theme for early childhood programs this week is Being Green! Although we won’t be gathering to share the stories and songs, we do have some great online resources to share, as well as songs you can use to build your own special story sharing time together.
It's shaping up to be a great week at Storytimes at HRLS, and we're counting on a number of fun activities! Head over to any of our three branches and explore some shapes and numbers through stories, rhymes, music, and more.
Once every four years in February, we LEAP into an extra day! This week at HRLS Storytimes, come hear some books that will get you ready for some jumping, hopping, and leaping through the calendar.
Big construction machines are a fascination for most young children and we'll indulge and encourage this love all week at Handley Regional Library Storytimes! Head over to one of our three locations for a storytime event and pick up some great construction books while you're there.
Say CHEEEEEESE! This week the storytimes at HRLS will discuss all things teeth! We'll look at everything from dentists to brushing, and even those wobbly loose teeth.
This week at storytime at the Handley Regional Library System we'll celebrate winter wildlife! Come enjoy some great stories and songs this week at any of our three library branches.
Not many things chase the chill away as wonderfully as baking, and one of the most wonderfully accessible things to bake with kids are cookies! Of course, the best part of baking cookies is the eating of the cookies! We'll be exploring some chaotic cookie shenanigans all week at our Handley Regional Library storytimes.
When the weather is cold outside it's the perfect opportunity to snuggle up with a book! We'll be highlighting some cozy books this week at storytimes at Handley Regional Library so head over for some heartwarming winter books, songs, and more.
At the end of the season the staff (and puppets!) take a brief break from storytimes as we prepare for the next exciting set of storytime themes. Meanwhile, we welcome all of our pint sized patrons and parents to keep heading over to the library each week to enjoy some informal play times with blocks and other activities! While you're there, the library staff will be present to help you select some great books to take home.
This week at HRLS storytimes, all branches will be celebrating some holiday cheer
full of music and celebration!
