Day Calendar

Come to “Stay and Play!”

Explore our toys, puzzles, building blocks and more!

Through play, children learn about their world. With this knowledge, they can understand books and stories once they begin to read!

Bring a blanket and join your local librarian in singing, reading, and playing together to build early literacy skills and a joy of reading. 

We meet near the stage in Ives Park.
