Programs for Children
Storytime (September through April)
Norelius Community Library current holds two regular storytimes from September through April.
- Storytime is held on Wednesday afternoons at 10 am. An emphasis is placed on early language development by reading stories, engaging in fun rhymes, and singing songs. A simple craft or extension activity is offered after every session. Older children are also welcome to attend, but the structure of the program is designed for babies and toddlers.
A repeat of the Wednesday Storytime is held on the second Thursday and on some Saturdays each month. See our event calendar for specific Saturday dates.
- Special storytimes are held throughout the year for holidays and other special events.
STEAM Saturday (September through April)
Full STEAM ahead! Join us once a month on the third Saturday at 10 am for a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) activity in in the Children's Library! This program is designed for children and tweens who can work independently and follow instructions (ages 8-13). We will be exploring STEAM concepts through activities such as domino toppling, LEGO, process art, coding and more! See our event calendar for each month's activity.
Summer Library Program (June & July)
