Story Times are Fun Times

Story times are fun times here in the Graham Room all month long.  Mondays at 10:00 AM for ages 3-5, and Wednesdays at 10:00 AM for ages 0-2.

This week, 4/2 and 4/4, the theme is Easter.  We will be reading Easter books and doing related crafts and activities.

Next week, 4/9 and 4/11, the theme is Spring.  Many animals are born and come out of hibernation in the spring, including turtles, which will be the theme this week.  After turtle story and craft, we will be having a special visit with a real, live turtle!

The following week, 4/16 and 4/18, we will be celebrating National Poetry Month with poems and stories in verse and related craft and activity.

The final week of April, 4/23 and 4/25, we will be hosting a tribute to the late Eleanor Estes, a West Haven resident and celebrated author.  The same program will be held both days and will be open to children ages 0-5 years.

Don't forget about our Moonlight Story Time on Tuesday, 4/24 at 6:00 PM in the Connie Sacco Community Room.  This event is for children ages 2-10.  There will be a reading of "The Hundred Dresses" by Helena Estes, Eleanor's daughter.  There will also be a scene from the May 19th theater show, and the first 50 children will receive a free copy of "The Hundred Dresses".
