Our library also offers access to Libby and Hoopla. Both apps can be downloaded for free onto your personal digital device and offer access to ebooks, audiobooks, and more! All you need is your library card to get started.
Our annual Summer Reading Challenge starts on Monday, June 22. Participants with a valid WAGGIN library account can register for the program at our circulation desk. Each physical item checked out from Frank Sarris Public Library( including books, DVDs, video games, Launchpads, and Playaways) counts toward a chance to win fantastic prizes. The Summer Reading Challenge will conclude on Saturday, August 15.
We are also offering summer storytimes, including Toddler Storytime, Preschool Storytime, and Wiggles & Giggles.
Toddler Storytime features short stories, finger plays, action rhymes, and songs. If you think your child might not sit still during a storytime, we don’ t expect them to! Come prepared to dance, wiggle, and play as we learn together! This program is designed for toddlers ages 1 to 3 and is held on Tuesdays at 10:15 a. m.
Our second Tuesday program, Preschool Storytime, starts at 11:15 a. m. and is suitable for children ages 3 through 5. Enjoy books, songs, activities and more as your preschoolers build early literacy skills.
On Wednesdays, join us at 10:15 a. m. for Wiggles & Giggles! Enjoy this lively movement class where we’ ll explore music, rhymes, fine-motor fingerplays, and large-motor movements. This program is designed for children ages 1 to 4 and their caregivers. Because of the nature of this program, we ask everyone to actively participate with their children by dancing and trying out the motions. Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes that allow for movement!
