Geared toward kids and tweens, ages 7-12! Join us every Tuesday evening for the next chapter in our selected chapter book reading! A snack will be served. Listening to books has serious benefits for developing readers. It helps tweens improve their pronunciation and fluency, improves focus and memory, increases attention span, builds comprehension skills, and can boost mental health by relieving stress and calming thoughts. A small snack will be served. For kids, teens, and tweens, ages 7 and up!
Big Kid Storytime is a weekly evening program at the Southwest Regional Library where staff read aloud from a selected chapter book. Designed specifically for older kids who have outgrown traditional picture book hours, this session allows independent readers to relax and listen to a story in a group setting. This free program takes place in the Children's Programming Room and is best suited for children ages 7 to 12. You do not need to register in advance, and a small snack is provided for the kids during the reading. The library has a dedicated parking lot with plenty of spaces, making it easy to get in and out quickly on a school night. While this is a weekday evening event, it makes a great addition to your weekly routine to help kids wind down before bed. It offers a screen-free way for older kids to build their listening skills and connect with peers in a quiet, welcoming environment.
