Meeting Room A, Barn

Discover a new early literacy offering with hands-on learning toys, activities, and crafts that support child development while giving families time to play and socialize together.

Play to Learn is a new playgroup for toddlers and their caregivers. When children play, their brains are hard at work. Playing helps children develop and strengthen their literacy, motor, social, language and vocabulary, and social skills. Playgroups are a fun way for kids and their families to play and learn together. The Library will provide a variety of developmentally appropriate learning toys, activities, and crafts where families can play and socialize together!
