Butterfly Garden
During the months of May and June, the Children's Department had caterpillars! We all watched as they went through the different phases of metamorphosis to become beautiful butterflies. During a program on June 8, children helped to plant a Butterfly Garden on the south side of the building (by the vegetable gardens) and released the newly hatched butterflies in it. Be sure to stop by and check it out!

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
Ages 0-5
We would like to invite you to participate in this free program which encourages you to read 1,000 books with your child before he or she starts kindergarten. Simply read a book to your newborn, infant, and/or toddler and record it. If you read just one book a night, you will have read about 365 books in a year. At that rate you can read over 1,000 books in just three years! The key is perseverance! The concept is simple and the rewards are priceless.
The library will facilitate this program by helping you to keep track of milestones and handing out fun prizes as you read more books!
For more information, call 631-363-6133.
