WISH LIST FOR CHILDREN'S ROOM
We're upping our game in the Children's Room!
Studies have shown that imaginative play increases a child's vocabulary, problem solving, and other pre-literacy skills. Plus, it allows families to come to the library to play together, strengthening family bonds and creating social ones.
To that end, we are purchasing some new items. Since we cannot afford everything on our Wish list, we are sharing our YPL Children's Room Wish list with all of you. If you want to contribute to the educational and emotional welfare of our young patrons, why not donate a toy for the cause?
Simply click here and choose the gift you'd like to donate. If you have any questions give Lynn Lesperance at the library a call. Don't forget to use Amazon Smile for Yarmouth Port Library when you check out. That way the library gets a little something to spend on the other patrons!
Thanks to all of you. Stop by soon and see how we're coming along.

Story Time
This is an opportunity for parents and their little ones to come together
for stories, songs, and pre-literacy activities with time afterward for socializing and play. For now this will only be happening at 11 AM on the second Friday of the month but I am always open to adding more programs if there are people who want them. Stop in and discuss it with me!

Why Reading with Children Matters...
"Reading regularly with a caregiver improves young children's language development, early reading achievement, and school readiness. When adults read with young children and engage them in rich conversations, children develop larger vocabularies, learn to read more easily, and grow stronger emotionally."
