Don’t Go Back to School Without a Library Card

The need to read doesn’t end when children go back to school in the fall. Library programs enhance and compliment their formal education.
School supplies for the fall should always include a library card for kids.
Fall Reading Programs at the main library resume on Monday Sept. 11, but the Lake City Public Library in the high school on Ramsey Road will offer its program for kids beginning Sept. 5, the same day it resumes school year hours (see age 4), with its version of LEGO Club, on Tuesdays at 4 p.m.
Programs at the Front Avenue library include:
► Spanish Bilingual Storytime: Mondays, 11 a.m. Learn some Spanish through stories, activities, and crafts for ages 3-5.
► Book Babies Lapsit:  Tuesdays, 10:15 a.m., and Fridays, 10:30 a.m., for children ages newborn to 2 accompanied by a parent or adult caregiver.
►Toddler Time Music & Motion: Tuesdays, 11 a.m., fun, songs, movement, and a story for 2-3 year olds.
► Preschool Storytime: Wednesdays, 10:30 a.m., stories and a craft geared to ages 3-5.
