Summer Session starts June 18.

Check out our Storytime Break Activities in April and May.

Oregon Public Library offers weekly early literacy storytimes for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. Storytime is a great place to build early literacy skills through fun short stories, puppets, songs, activities, and crafts.

Information about literacy and other parenting topics can be found on the Parent's Resource Page.

No registration is requested for programs.
