Registration for Children’s Fall Programming at Haldimand County Public Library

Starting Tuesday September 5, registration for Children’s Fall Programing at the Haldimand County Public Library opens.

The following programs are available:

Storytime (all branches): For children aged 3 and up. Children will be introduced to different themes each week through books, rhymes, songs, puppets, crafts and flannel board stories. They will also gain early social skills including sharing, taking turns, paying attention, and interpersonal communications.

Tales for Twos (select branches): For children 2 years of age. Children and their parent or guardian participate in a fun and interactive 30-minute session, exploring weekly themes through stories, interactive songs and activities.

Baby Storytime (select branches): For babies and their parent or guardian. Each week has a specific theme with short stories and fun interactive songs, rhymes, finger play and body movements to engage both baby and parent.  Afterwards, everyone is invited to stay and socialize while the children play with toys and interact with each other.

LEGO Club: A FREE drop-in program for children aged 3 and up (unless stated otherwise in the branch) where children use their imagination to build their own creations out of LEGO.

All programs are 10 weeks long and require pre-registration unless otherwise stated. Children can be registered for all 10 weeks or for select weeks. The cost is $1 per week per child.

In-person registration is required; the exact start dates for each program vary and can be found at your local branch and on the Haldimand County Public Library website.
