STORYTIMES
are available at each of Whitman County Library's 13 branches
for children ages 2 years and up. Storytimes begin in the fall
after the Palouse Empire Fair and end the middle of May. See
Locations
and Hours for the times and locations of each branch's storytime.
At Storytime, children are involved in a variety of age appropriate
activities that may include stories, poetry, fingerplays and
action activities, games, musical events, crafts, puppets and
creative dramatics. These activities help to promote cognitive
development, imagination, curiosity, comprehension, language
fluency, socialization and reading readiness.

Third
Thursday Club is for children in grades 1-4. This
activity meets every 3rd Thursday of the month from September
through May. It includes a snack, craft, activity, and story
time. At Colfax, the after-school program is held each third
Thursday from 3:30 to 4:30pm.
Summer Reading Program. For
six weeks in the summer, the Summer Reading Program is held
in each of our 13 branches.
Last year more than 600 kids participated in the fun activities,
crafts, and stories. To make reading even more fun, we reward
reading time with small prizes and incentives, such as pencils
and bookmarks, and occasionally a theme-related snack.
Those
who complete the program are awarded a certificate and "goodie"
bag. |
