The Metcalfe County Public Library is dedicated to providing creative opportunities for kids to learn and use their imagination. We are a place to read, relax, play, and make friends. Visit the library to enjoy the many free resources the Children’s Department has to offer (AWE learning computers, blocks, puzzles, manipulatives, dramatic play, sensory exploration, etc.) You will find a diverse collection of educational and recreational materials, as well as programs for all ages. We look forward to hearing your children laughing, talking, playing, exploring, and learning at the library soon.
Toddler Time is for the 6 month - 2 year old child and his/her parent or caregiver. The first 30-40 minutes will consist of action rhymes, songs, fingerplays, and stories being read. Games and crafts will also be included.
*A child's age group is based upon a child's age at the registration date.*
