Attention Big Group Organizers!
Dover Public Library created a storytime just for you and the children you serve! Pre-registered big groups-- that is, groups of ten or more children from schools, daycares, clubs, camps, or other programs-- are welcome by appointment. The programs will include stories, songs, fingerplays, and fun! Since space is limited to 45 participants for each program, reservations must be made two weeks in advance by calling 736-7034.
We hope you will take part in this exciting opportunity to expose children to books, libraries, and a lifetime love of learning! When you call to make your reservation, be prepared to provide a contact name, telephone number, mailing address, and the number and age range of the children who will be attending story time. We will follow up with a reminder call prior to your visit. Please let us know if you can not make the visit.
Story times are fun and include storytelling, visitors, crafts, music, and more!
Toddlers (Birth - 3 years): Tuesdays and Fridays at 10:15 a.m.
Preschoolers (3 to 5 years): Thursdays at 10:00 a.m
Dial-a-Story: Let your child call 734-1006 or 734-1007 any time for a short story, song or poem! The two lines offer two different stories, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
