Come for a short storytime filled with rhymes, songs and bounces designed especially for little ones. Then stay to play and connect with other babies and caregivers. Recommended ages birth - 18 months. READ and PLAY with your favorite baby! Reading, singing, talking, and playing with your baby from the beginning is important because the roots of language are developing in a baby’s brain even before they can talk!  Library programs are always free. Siblings and childcare groups are welcome. ____________________ To request interpretation, translation or a disability-related accommodation at no cost to you, contact (608) 266-6511 or [email protected].

With care and intention, you will create collage cards, choosing images and words that speak to your desired outcomes, to remind you of the person we wish to embody in 2026; taking time to pause and picture the goals you have and the intentions you want to nurture into action. No registration required; all ages are welcome (children 6 and under must be accompanied by an adult)  ____________________ To request interpretation, translation or a disability-related accommodation at no cost to you, contact (608) 266-6511 or [email protected].
