Have fun with your little one as we build early literacy skills together! This interactive program focuses on singing, talking, and movement—key ways young children learn language.

To support movement and enjoyment, scarves and bubbles will be included.
This program is designed for children under 2½ years old and is ideal for little ones who can sit up on their own, are crawling, or are just beginning to walk.
Please note: Doors will close 5 minutes after the program begins to minimize disruptions. The room will reopen for free play at 12:00 pm. No registration is required, but space is limited. .

ToddlerTime: Sing, Talk, Move @ Los Altos
Have fun with your little one as we build early literacy skills together! This interactive program focuses on singing, talking, and movement—key ways young children learn language. Through songs and rhymes, children will explore the alphabet, shapes, counting, and sounds in ways that keep them engaged and learning, with an emphasis on singing and movement rather than a traditional book reading. To support movement and enjoyment, scarves and bubbles will be included.
This program is designed for children under 2½ years old and is ideal for little ones who can sit up on their own, are crawling, or are just beginning to walk.
Please note: Doors will close 5 minutes after the program begins to minimize disruptions. The room will reopen for free play at 12:00 pm. No registration is required, but space is limited. .

Page Turners Club: The Whisperwicks @ El Dorado
Join our chapter book club for school-age readers, where we will discuss the book and do fun activities or crafts related to the story. Suitable for ages 9 & up.
If you haven't read the book, feel free to join the fun, but we cannot guarantee there will be no spoilers!
Our book for August is:
The Whisperwicks #1: The Labyrinth of
Lost and Found by Jordan Lees
Although the event is tagged school-age (6-12), the content is likely more suitable for kids on the older school-age side, approximately 9 & up, but ultimately it is up to the parent. Please know we have been selecting books from our children’s fiction, children’s graphic novels, and middle school fiction section. I recommend parents to check content warnings for parents to determine whether the book has age-appropriate content for your child.

The Art of Fighting: Building Better, Stronger Relationships
Join us for a perspective-shifting conversation with acclaimed facilitator Priya Parker to discuss her groundbreaking new book, The Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict.
In The Art of Fighting, Priya Parker explains that we can’t form and grow effective relationships without a fight. She rejects the idea that conflict is abnormal or that good groups don’t fight. All groups change and evolve; it’s because people disagree that good groups flourish. Register for the online event, Read more books about conflict management with your library card, Watch past author talks, If you can't attend live, register anyway and you'll receive a recording of the talk!
