Bring the kids — or grandkids — to our award-winning Sanibel Public Library next time you visit!
Not only will they find hundreds of new books for children and teens, but some delightful new programs, as well:
- Family Storytime is offered on Wednesdays at both 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. This all-ages program helps develop pre-reading skills through songs, rhymes, finger-plays and stories. Length is approximately 30 minutes plus activities to follow.
- After-school Crew K-2 meets Thursdays at 3 p.m. This program will have activities designed for children in kindergarten through second grade, and a snack will also be provided.
- The After-School Clique – third through fifth grades – will meet on Tuesdays from 3 to 4 p.m. This program includes never-knew-existed books, puzzles, games and crafts designed specifically for children in third through fifth grades.
- Dog-loving children might enjoy reading to Bessie, a bearded collie and a Reading Education Assistance Dog. The READ program encourages children’s love of books by providing a non-judgmental listener and furry friend. Bessie will be at the library on rain-free Thursdays at 4 p.m. Readers can sign up on the spot, with the program finishing by 5 p.m.
- Middle Grades Group will be held at the library on Wednesdays from 2:45 to 3:45 p.m. Snack provided. Volunteers are welcome.
