Join us Thursday mornings at 10 am for a program filled with music, stretching, rhymes, stories and fun!
Afterschool Crew: We are happy to welcome children age 10 and up for homework help afterschool. Daily sign up on our website is required and we are limited to 10 students per day. We ask that the students stay no longer than 2 hours and bring their own water and snack. Students will need to bring a note to school to be able to walk to the Library.
1000 BOOKS BEFORE KINDERGARTEN! The single most important thing you can do to prepare your child to read independently is to read to them every day. Congratulations to all of the children participating in the program! These kids make us SO proud! If you complete a chart showing that you have read 100 books and turn it in to Miss Cheryl, the next time you come to the library there will be a present waiting for you! Come to the library to find out more!
YOUTH OUTREACH: We are pleased to be in the classrooms and schools every Wednesday at CES, The Dewey School at Canterbury Shaker Village and The Canterbury Whole Child Center. It is a pleasure to serve the young people of this town, you are reading at record numbers and learning the value of being a library cardholder!

Join Rachel by the fireplace on the first and third Thursday of each month at 2pm for an hour. Keep your eye on the newsletter or town-wide email for a description of the programs each meeting. We will be doing all sorts of things: crafting, hearing from Granite VNA and AARP, learning about fly-fishing, talking about our memories and just enjoying the time together.

Come join Mary Ellen for a new program entitled Murder, Mayhem and Misadventure. Together we will explore the many books that capture our imagination about Murder (meaning quite clear), Mayhem (violent or damaging disorder; chaos), and Misadventure (an unfortunate incident; a mishap). We will share what we have read and get recommendations from each other about favorite books and authors. We will also discuss books that have been made into movies and which ones live up to the “hype”. After the first meeting we will all discuss where would like to take this group for future meetings. We will meet the fourth Tuesday of each month at 2pm.
