Youth Services

The goal of our Youth Programs is to introduce families to all the library has to offer and foster a love of reading in children while having fun at the library!

No registration is required. When BW schools are cancelled due to weather or holiday, Storytime is cancelled too. Call us if you have any questions or check our Facebook page for any updates.

Children learn literacy skills through playing, hearing stories, talking about the stories, and acting out themes related to the stories.
