    SIGNUP for Whitestown Baby Bouncers Session

    Ages Birth - 11 months. Register your child for each storytime. This very beginner lap sit program includes activities for babies. They will enjoy songs, rhymes, fingerplays, action playing a short book and play time.

    Intermediate Readers Book Club

    Do your kids in grades 2 - 4 love to read? Are they regularly selecting books from our Juvenile Fiction section (not just Beginning Fiction or Tween Fiction)? Then this is the book club for them! We'll all read the month's selected title on our own, then meet together to discuss it and do some fun activities. In October, we will read Rescue on the Oregon Trail, the first book in Kate Messner's series Ranger in Time. This series is about Ranger, "a time-traveling golden retriever who has a nose for trouble . . . and always saves the day!" This particular book starts when Ranger finds a mysterious first aid kit in the garden and is transported to the year 1850, where he meets a young boy named Sam Abbott, whose family is migrating west on the Oregon Trail. Copies of the book will be available to be checked out from the Youth Department Reference Desk when registration opens. Allergy Alert: Snacks may be served during this program that may contain dairy, eggs, wheat, or soy. This is not a comprehensive list of all potential allergens. Please contact the event programmer and/or share any accommodations needed in your registration.   

    Time: 4:30pm - 5:30pm Location: Mayfield Room
