Welcome to our children's area!

The children's area of the library includes board books, picture books, early readers, and family-friendly DVDs. Our children's librarian, Emma, is happy to help you with any questions you may have. You can reach her at efraser@berwickpubliclibrary.org

Our Friday storytimes at 10:30am are designed for children ages 3-5, but all ages are welcome! 

 

Our storytimes are developed with three things in mind: 

  1. To provide time for caregivers and children to enjoy stories and language building activities together. 

  2. To model ways caregivers can share books and expand children's experiences through books/storytelling.

  3. To practice fine motor skills and social skills through activities/crafts. 

 

Adult participation is welcome during storytimes - please join in the activities and show your child they’re fun! 

​

Children are human beings with big feelings. If your child becomes disruptive, it’s perfectly okay to step out together until your child regains self-control; you are always welcome to return when you’re ready. Storytime is a learning experience, and it’s important for everyone to practice patience and tolerance for a wide range of behavior!

​

Relax and enjoy! We don’t expect little ones to sit still or join in every activity. Storytime is all about having fun together; listening, moving, and exploring in whatever way feels right for your child. There’s no right or wrong way to enjoy the experience!

Storytime

Toddler Social Hour

Join us every Wednesday at 10:30am for our Toddler Social Hour, designed for children up to age 3 and their caregivers. Meet our Children’s Librarian in the children’s area for relaxed playtime with age-appropriate toys that support early development and help build both fine and gross motor skills.
 

This is a wonderful opportunity for your little one to practice social skills: taking turns, sharing, and getting to know other children, all through fun games and activities!

Minecraft Club

Minecraft Club meets in person on Wednesdays at the library at 4pm. You can bring your own laptop or use a library computer.
