Early literacy class for children birth to age 5, with adult caregiver. Stories, songs, activities and social interaction for the whole family.

NO registration required.

Come check out our early literacy stations in the programming room, including a story time! We will have books previously selected for check out and a craft station every week! Activities and play stations will be different each week.

A storytime where books meet art. We will read a book and then using a variety of materials, preschoolers will create art that is child-directed, choice-driven, and celebrates the experience of discovery. Dress for mess! 

Schenectady County Historian Bill Buell will be available to answer questions and meet with any patrons looking for help with local history research during this time. No registration required
