Summer Programs:

   Summer Reading Program: For kids ages 3-10.  For 2010, the theme is Go Green @ Your Library.  For more information, visit www.readsinma.org/rochester.

Jammy Jamboree for ages 2-6: no registration is required.  Pajamas and slippers are welcome!  The 2010 program will take place on Mondays from 6:30 to about 7:30 p.m., starting in late June.  This program consists of relaxing but interactive stories with fingerplays, action rhymes, songs, and a simple art activity.

 

Library Cards!  Any child can get a library card!  (Parents need to fill out the application for children under age 13.)  Kids love having their own library card, and finding books for themselves.  Have your own Storytimes at home!  Books on CD/tape, DVDs, and videos are all available with a valid library card.  Come in to fill out an application, or click HERE.

 

Tumblebooks!  TumbleBooks  is an online collection of animated, talking books which teach kids the joy of reading in a format they'll love!  Checkout the SAILS library network subscription to Tumblebooks via the Plumb Library homepage, via the link http://www.tumblebooks.com/library/asp/home_tumblebooks.asp. 

Thanks to SEMLS for providing Tumblebooks for us!
