Children’s Story Time!

DevelopmentFYI

Children’s Story Time – This week was a swimming good time, exploring the world of Mermaids!

Join us for family fun at Bridgton Public Library Children’s Story Time on Fridays at 10:00 AM. This week’s session was all about mermaids, we had a great turn out this morning thanks to all of our little readers that joined us!

Each week we read, then we do a group activity like dress up, sing songs, practice turn taking, enjoy crafts, play games, or dance—all while exploring the joy of reading and building early literacy skills in a fun, engaging way.

Come on by on Fridays for a magical morning of stories, music, and movement. Story Time is perfect for young readers and their caregivers to connect, play, and discover together. Join us next week for a stomping good time as we learn from our prehistoric friends—the dinosaurs!
