“Libraries are really about three things: Literacy, technology, and community space.”
Additionally, all of the storytellers go through a program called Supercharged Storytime , which instructs them to be attentive and engaging narrators. “We have a very high standard of how our storytellers perform, so the quality of our program matches the importance of what we do for the community,” said Neeves. From kindergarten to fifth grade, programming revolves around keeping kids kinesthetically engaged. These young learners can enjoy different clubs and crafts, as well as reading sessions with therapy dogs. Another offering is Kids Create —a 45-minute class with revolving themes that allows participants to explore their creative side through stories, crafts, games, and activities. Teen programming focuses on interacting with the community, and prioritizes engagement and expression with other teens. Events include writing clubs, book discussions, art contests, hands-on learning classes, and craft-making. Adult opportunities facilitate community building and learning. Activities include book clubs, classes, writer’s groups, trivia nights, clubs, author visits, art nights, and more.
