August 18 - August 29

Monday through Friday

9:00 AM - 12:00 PM in the SML Community Room

Get ready for Kindergarten at the Stephentown Memorial Library with our Early Readers Summer Pre-K Program!

Led by certified teacher Rebekkah Corbett, this child-centered program focuses on Kindergarten readiness through children’s literature. Each day the class will focus on a different piece of children’s literature as well as work on fine motor, gross motor, communication and social skills. Children will also be familiarized with the Kindergarten routine and with Stephentown Elementary School.

To be eligible for this free program, children must be entering Kindergarten at Stephentown Elementary School in the fall. A wait list will be kept for children entering Kindergarten at other schools. Those children will be enrolled if space permits.

Early Readers is underway with 9 incredibly enthusiastic students and 1 incredibly talented teacher!  Connecting children to books… lifelong learning begins at Stephentown Memorial Library!

This program has been developed by the Stephentown Memorial Library in colloboration with the Stephentown Elementary School. Early Readers Summer Pre-K Program is funded in full by a Family Literacy Service grant from the New York State Education Department.

Wednesdays

11 AM in the SML Community Room

Calling all preschoolers (and their caregivers)! Join us each Wednesday for some story time fun! In this half-hour session, we read aloud, sing songs, move about, and explore the world around us through literature. Parents and children are encouraged to stay after story time so children have time for free play while grown-ups browse for books.

Registration is encouraged but not required. For more information, stop by the Library or call us at 733-5750.

Story Time at the Stephentown Memorial Library is part of our Rural Reading Readiness Program, a grant-funded opportunity made possible through a Family Literacy Services Award from the New York State Library.

So little summer, so little time!  Due to various vacation schedules, Story Time is on hiatus and will resume in September.  See you on Wednesdays then!
