Fiddle N’ Fun
Tuesday, August 6, 10 AM
Ages 3-9. Join Joel Beauchemin from Fiddle N’ Fun for a fun filled hour of learning. Fiddle N’ Fun is an independent music education program designed for young children. They provide unique, hands-on learning experiences through singing, movement, instruments, and much more! Each session includes Suzuki-style activities using simple one-stringed instruments; these Fiddlestix are incredibly fun, durable, and have been proven to prepare young listeners for learning the violin. Register.

Paws to Read
Wednesday, August 7, 10 AM (timeslots)
Build reading skills and gain confidence in reading aloud by coming to the Library to Paws to Read! Register to reserve a 15-minute time slot to have your child read to Gizmo and Pepe, two adorable chihuahua/pomeranian mix therapy dogs. Research has shown that reading aloud to another person can help struggling readers with their overall performance and confidence. But did you know that reading comprehension improves even more when reading to a dog rather than an adult? It's true! Register.

Not Just a Stick
Wednesday, August 14, 6 PM
Grades K-3. When is a stick NOT JUST A STICK? Kids in grades K-3 are invited to join Ms Corey to learn all the ways in which a stick is not just a stick. We will be exploring activities and crafts that can be created with just a stick. Register.

I’m Going to Kindergarten
Thursday, August 15, 10 AM
Join Ms Sandie for a special storytime adventure for children entering Kindergarten in the fall of 2024! First, we'll read stories about and talk about kindergarten. Then we'll take a ride on the school bus! The bus will take us around Seekonk, with brief stops at both Aitken and Martin elementary schools. Register.

STORYTIMES
Storytime in the Meadows
Fridays, July 5- August 9th, 10 AM
All ages, drop in. Join us for a weekly storytime for all ages! We'll meet outside in the gazebo at 10 am for stories and more! In the case of inclement weather, storytime will be moved inside. Please bring a blanket or towel to sit on outside. Registration is NOT required, but please bring your SAILS library card to bring more books home and continue the storytime adventure!

As always, our storytimes focus on talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing- important principles for YOUR child's language development and reading readiness!
