This is an all-levels Slow Flow style yoga class, adaptable for people with different levels of fitness (it does involve sitting on a mat and standing up from the floor).

Children of all ages and their caregivers are welcome to join us for Spanish storytime - songs, rhymes, stories, and crafts - completely in Spanish!

Children of all ages and their caregivers are invited to celebrate reading and build their early literacy skills at Family Storytime. We meet each Saturday for stories, songs and hands-on fun.

A power-packed 1-hour class to kickstart your garden with confidence! Covering location, soil, and garden setup, this session is designed to take you from zero to growing—fast.

Learn how you can support the development of your child’s early literacy skills with Cassie, TCPL's lead Baby and Toddler Storytime librarian. We'll focus on the five practices of singing, talking, reading, writing and playing.

Children are invited to practice their reading skills by sharing a story with a truly non-judgmental listener -- a dog! Reading sessions will be held Mondays from 3-4 p.m. Children who attend 6 sessions will earn a FREE book of their choice!
