Bring your preschooler (ages 4+) to Library for Lunch! This award-winning program was designed to help your child get ready for school by enjoying some learning activities and practicing having lunch at "school." After storytime and learning activities, your child (with your help) will eat lunch at the library as well as go through the "lunch line" to pick up a drink and sweet treat. We'll even have play money so that they can practice paying for their lunch. This month we'll be talking Gingerbread and decorating cookies!

Children should bring a bagged lunch and the library will provide a sweet treat. This program is recommended for preschoolers ages 4 – 6, but younger and/or older siblings may attend. Please indicate number of attendees when registering. Registration required.
