SUMMARY:Playgroup for Littles (0-3) & Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:Playgroup Update at Whiting Library. Reserve your spot here. \nOur Tuesday Morning Playgroup has grown into something truly special\, and I’m so grateful to see so many families connecting\, playing\, and learning together. It’s been wonderful to watch this community grow! \nWith that growth\, we’ve reached a point where a few changes will help keep playgroup a calm\, safe\, and engaging experience for everyone—especially our youngest participants. \nWhen playgroup resumes in April\, here’s what to expect: \n\nAttendance will be limited to 6 adults (with their children) per session\nAdvance sign-up will be required to help families plan ahead. RSVP here!\nDrop-ins may be welcomed only if space allows.\nPlaygroup is designed with children ages 0–3 in mind\n\nWe’ll prioritize reservations for families with children ages 3 and under.\nIf space allows\, families with older children are always welcome to join.\n\n\n\n\nThese adjustments will help create a more relaxed environment where little ones can explore\, play\, and build early literacy skills at their own pace. \nThank you for your understanding and for being such an important part of this growing playgroup community. Contact me\, your Youth Librarian\, for more information via youthlibrarian@whitinglibrary.org or call 802-875-2277.  \nWarmly\,\n Carrie\n Youth Services Librarian\n Whiting Library

SUMMARY:Tales to Tails: Read to a Therapy Dog! 🐶
DESCRIPTION:Come read to a furry friend! 🐶 \nKids are invited to boost their reading confidence by reading aloud to a gentle\, trained therapy dog named Orla. Our Tales to Tails program provides a calm\, playful\, and nonjudgmental space where young readers can practice their skills\, build fluency\, and enjoy the company of a four-legged listener. \nReading to a dog makes learning feel like play which is essential to literacy development! Through play\, children engage their imagination\, build language skills\, and gain the confidence they need to become lifelong readers. \nPerfect for emerging and reluctant readers—because dogs make the best audience! 📖 \nKathleen Karl\, a registered therapy dog handler and seasoned educator with over 20 years of experience helping children become successful readers\, will be on hand to support young participants. Kids are welcome to bring their own book or choose one from the library. \nWhen: July 7\, Tuesday📖 from 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM. Book your 15 minute appointment time in advance!🐾 Prefer a different time? Appointments are welcome! Contact Carrie to request a time that works best for you—we’ll do our best to accommodate your schedule. \n🔖 Reserve your reading time with Orla:Email Carrie King at youthlibrarian@whitinglibrary.org
