Bring your kids to story time, where we sing, craft, and have lots of fun!

The Old Forge Library welcomes little ones and their families to six Fall Story Time sessions, on Fridays from October 2 through November 6, from 10:15 -11 am. These fun-filled sessions are created especially for children ages 3 to 6, and each 45-minute Story Time includes stories, games, crafts, creative play, songs, and activities that spark imagination and encourage learning. Younger children are welcome, too, though toddlers need to have an adult with them. Story Time has been a beloved tradition at the Old Forge Library for many decades. It's a special part of early childhood for many in the community and continues to bring families together through a love of reading and play. To help with planning, registration is encouraged. The library usually prepares for a few extra participants and will always find a way to welcome walk-ins. To register, call 315-369-6008 or email oldforge@midyork.org.

A morning rich with stories, songs, and play!

The Dolgeville-Manheim Public Library welcomes you to: The “Toddler Tales ‘N Tunes” program for ages birth to 5 years old, which takes place on Fridays. We will follow the Dolgeville Central School (DCS) schedule when children are in attendance. We will not meet when DCS is closed or when there is a Superintendent’s Conference Day. (We will however, meet when there are morning half-days and also when there is a 1- or 2-hour delay.) Parents/Guardians/Adults are welcome to use the room/toys when we aren’t there (and no one else is using it) as long as they pick up when they leave. Our clientele has been mostly children ages three and younger, so we are focusing on socialization, a very easy craft activity (like playdough) with the last 15 minutes on snack, stories, songs, movement, and trying to stretch attention spans. We will be assisted by Joann Zilkowski, the DCS R4K (Ready for Kindergarten navigator) and Sarah Williams-Herringshaw, Connected Community Schools coordinator. It is free and open to the public, No registration needed, but we do ask you to stop by the circulation desk before going upstairs, to check in there first.

Join us as we discuss kid-chosen books, chapter by chapter. When we finish a book we vote on the next one so that you will have a chance to read about something you like and would like your friends to read as well. We are meeting at this time because we don't want to create conflicts with school sports. We have in the past met on Thursdays at 3:30 to 4:30pm, so eventually the time may change, but you will have lots of heads up before that happens. Please keep in mind that we follow the school schedule for this program, so if there is no school on a particular Thursday, we will not be meeting that day. We are currently reading "Matilda" by Roald Dahl.
