This is a fast paced program perfect for your "on the go" toddler. It is filled with songs, finger plays, activities and, of course, books.  This program is designed especially for your active two year old.  Each child must have a parent or guardian with them.

This is a great opportunity for parents to meet other parents of two year olds and learn some fun things that can be done at home.  What a great time to get your child interested in coming to the library and establishing a life long love for books.
