​Ready to Read Club for Toddlers and Preschoolers
Virtual storytimes plus early literacy activities and inspiration delivered right to your inbox each week! You’ll receive links to read-alouds and a weekly live Zoom storytime with Mrs. Michele, lists of great books to share with your child, activity ideas and inspiration (arts and crafts, sensory/imaginative play, math, alphabet, cooking and science) and more. To join our email list, go to: http://eepurl.com/hn1_eT ​

Family Book Club: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
Cozy up this winter with a great book the whole family can enjoy together!  Each month, we’ll select a book and provide a packet of ideas to enhance your reading experience - recipes, crafts, games and more.  At the end of the month, families are invited to compete in a live Zoom trivia game!  Which family will remember the most about the book and have their name placed on the Wall of Fame? Join at the children’s department desk or email Mrs. Michele at nfplyouthlibrary@gmail.com .  
Ways to get your copy: 
Ask at the children’s room desk (we’ll have copies put aside)
Borrow digitally on Hoopla
Download the audiobook on Overdrive
