| Discovery Kits Have Arrived! |
| Check out our new Discovery Kits designed for children
being schooled at home or students in Grades 2 -4. We have assembled
thirteen kits on various topics. Each kit contains a variety of items
created for learning and fun. The contents of the kits will vary,
and may include DVD’s, CD-ROMs, games, models and puzzles.
Kits may be checked out for a period of 3 weeks. Teachers using their
teacher cards may arrange for a longer period if needed. The kits
were developed with LSTA funds through the Massachusetts Board of
Library Commissioners.

sessions:
- Baby and Me Storytimes are offered to infants and
children up to 2 _ years old and lasts about 30 minutes. Each session
consists of stories, finger plays, songs and movement. It requires
a parent/caregiver to work closely with the registered child. The
Baby and Me Storytime allows other siblings to attend; however,
this is not a playgroup.

2 to 6 years old and each session is about 45 minutes long.
Children and parents/caregiver
may attend each session on a “drop-in” basis.
