This event series takes place in person at Woodstock Library. Come unwind and enjoy your afternoon with a kids' movie on the Children's Floor. Did the book do it better? Or did the movie capture the magic just right? Join us for our monthly book and film club where we read a book and then meet to watch its film adaptation. We'll have a brief discussion before and after the screening to compare and contrast the two. This is a perfect program for anyone who loves stories in all their forms. Copies of the book will be available at the circulation desk one month prior to the film.

sensoryFREENYPL Woodstock Library · Morrisania
This event will take place in person at Woodstock Library. Join us to hear stories, sing songs, and get those wiggles out as you help your active child build important early learning skills. Discover ways to promote early literacy at home and meet other caregivers in the neighborhood. Best for new walkers, toddlers/or children at this developmental stage. September 29: Sensory Themed Calling all 18 month to 5-year-olds! Do you enjoy jumping, dancing, playing, and singing? If so, toddler time is for you! Twice a month we will meet up to sing silly songs, dance, explore rhythm instruments, and read a story. Toddler time is a great way to socialize with other toddlers, and get ready for Kindergarten. Toddler time will always finish with a process of art craft. “Process art” is more focused on the act of painting, mixing, rolling, and exploring color than a set goal. This is a great way to encourage sensory exploration and fun.
