About this event
Community Volunteer Ms. Jody will bring one of two therapy dogs for you to practice reading to in a safe setting. Children must be at least ages 5+. Children should be beginning to read and use this 10 minute slot to practice their reading development in a judgement free zone (there should be no caregiver reading).
Come play chess with players of all levels. This event will take place at the library in the children's area. As always, children ages eight and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times, and children cannot visit the library alone until the age of eleven. Registration is not required, but space and chessboards are limited. Your child may have to wait for a turn to play, but we encourage them to learn from observing games. Check our Chess Club page to see the schedule for the school year.

Little Wigglers Storytime @ the Gazebo
Demarest Free Public Library · Demarest
Join Ms. Jen at the Demarest Gazebo for stories, songs, and fun. This 3-session September program is for infants to toddlers and their caregivers. No registration required! When the weather is nice, we'll meet at the Demarest Gazebo. Otherwise, we will meet at the Library. Check our online calendar or call the library the morning of for updates! When are the classes? Storytime is on Mondays from 10:30 - 11 AM. What if there is inclement weather? We will meet at the Library instead. There is limited space so we may not be able to accomodate everyone that may have come to the Gazebo. Call 201-768-8714 x 3 that morning to check where storytime will be held. Where are the classes held? Storytime meets once a week at the Demarest Gazebo lawn, under the shade of the trees. PLEASE bring a picnic blanket for you and your little one to be most comfortable. It is a good idea to bring water and sunscreen although we are mostly in the shade. After storytime, please feel free to stay and play on the lawn or meet back at the library and socialize with other parents and caregivers! Who is this class for? This class is for 0 to 4-year-olds and their caregivers. Caregivers must remain with children at all times.
