Attention Big Group Organizers!
Dover Public Library created a story time 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-- will be welcomed on Wednesday from 9:30 to 10:00 a.m. and 1:30 to 2:00 p.m. We have selected a story time theme for each month, and a flier/calendar to send home with each child. The Wednesday 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 mail confirmation of your reservation to you, and follow up with a reminder call shorty prior to
your 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.
