The purpose of preschool story hour is to introduce language, literature and the library to children and parents or caregivers in a positive and fun manner. Each week a different letter of the alphabet will be featured and introduced with themes. The programs will consist of stories, songs, fingerplays, rhymes and crafts to help preschool children enlarge their experiences, experiment with language, and to acquire a story sense that will help in developing reading skills. Story hours also help children acquire interactive skills and serve to further strengthen the parent-child bond.
Each weekly session will last for approximately one-half hour. All programs begin the week of October 4, 2011 through the week of December 16, 2011 and then will resume January 9, 2012 through May 24, 2012. You do not need to register again. Group size for all programs is limited, so you will want to register early.
