Listed below are the modules available for the preschool and elementary ages starting mid January. Please take a look online or ask anyone in the youth services department for details.

Some possibilities include: stories, BINGO, a simple craft, science activity or games. It's a grab bag kind of evening! Please note that sessions will run with breaks rather than consecutively as in the past.
We are very interested in having your children try out our new classes and meet our new youth assistant, Jessica Drouin. We are happy to have a new staff member who is passionate about libraries and children. Jessica will be working with Kathy Watson and Carolyn Birr planning and implementing children’s programs. She will also fill in at the main circulation desk as needed. Jessica comes with a background in library services from the Derry Public Library. She is very excited to be joining us and looks forward to running children’s classes and events. Please introduce yourself and your children to her when you drop in to register for some of the above selections.
We will be closed on Monday, January 2nd. Happy New Year to everyone!
