Fall Programs

Register now for children's programs at the library this fall.  Book clubs, Tiny Tales, and Storytime resume in mid-September, and we have several one-time events scheduled as well: a Young Rembrandts art class, TALK Play Date, game day, and more.

Book Clubs

We will start the year with "Not a Box" for Book Buddies and our favorite books for Bookworms and Chapter Chatters.  

See the book club page for more information and to register for monthly book clubs for elementary ages. 

Tiny Tales & Storytime

We are "Reading through the Alphabet" in Storytime this fall, focusing on a different letter each week.  Join us on September 22 when we start with the letter A.  Tiny Tales is returning to Thursday mornings. 

See the Storytime page for information and to register for Tiny Tales and Storytime.

Young Rembrandts

This program is an introductory class to the Young Rembrandts program which will be offered through Milan Community Education this fall. The session on September 16 will be a complete one hour class with drawing and coloring presented by a Young Rembrandts instructor. Please register here.  

TALK* Play Date

*Text and Learn for Kindergarten

5 years and younger

Saturday, October 14

10:30 - 12:30

We are partnering with Ypsilanti District Library and other libraries in Washtenaw County to introduce TALK - a new texting service which will send age-specific texts to parents/guardians of children from birth through kindergarten.  Additional information and sign-up for the service will be available during the play date.  During the play date, children will explore early literacy skills through play activities, while parents will discover ways to continue developing these skills at home.  Please register here.  

This project is funded (in part) with a Library Services and Technology Act grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services administered by the Library of Michigan.
