Story Time

is a program for young children that explores a new theme each week with stories, songs, poems, and crafts. Events are about 45 minutes long, and no registration is needed. Themes change weekly, so parents may select the most convenient time to participate each week. 

No age restrictions apply to this program, but we do ask that children be removed from the circle when they become too restless. (Children 9 years and younger must always be accompanied by a parent or guardian.)

Story Time fall session will be held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. from September 9 to December 4.

Reading Together

is a program for pre-readers and an adult to read together. By keeping a log of books shared, the child can earn a free book for each 25 books read. There is a limit of one book each two weeks. Logs can be found at the Children's Librarian's desk.

Reading Together is a program that is offered only during the school year. It does not continue in the summer.

Grandcare Storytime

Council on Aging invites children and parents to stories read by its volunteers at the Leavenworth Public Library. Enjoy a scrumptious snack, and make a craft to take home.

Family Chess Club

Children and parents are invited to participate. Opponents are chosen by random selection. Players were encouraged to bring their own chess game.

National Library Week

National Library Week (the first week of April) is traditionally celebrated at the Leavenworth Public Library Children's Room from 3:30–5:00p.m.

Often there will be games, movies and prizes!

The Learning Center

is a special room filled with toys and activities for preschool children. Items in the room change every four months, but there are always manipulatives for eye-hand coordination and lots of opportunities for dramatic play.

Accelerated Reader

We will work as quickly as possible to have a copy of each school's Accelerated Reader List in the Children's Room.

Because each school uses a different computer program or recommended reading list, we must rely on school librarians to provide us with that information.
