About this event

Each reader shares one-on-one reading time with a teen volunteer from Tenafly Middle School or Tenafly High School. Children are encouraged to bring their own books or they can select one from our collection. Teen volunteers can also read to children not quite ready to read on their own. Reading with a teen buddy helps new and emerging readers gain confidence and independence while practicing reading skills.

Belly Play for Infants & Caregivers, ages birth - 12 months

Tenafly Public Library · Tenafly

No registration. Open play time for infants and pre-crawlers with their caregivers. Babies play with toys designed to encourage their physical and intellectual growth while caregivers socialize with each other. Supervised belly play is important because it helps to: Strengthen baby’s neck, shoulder, and arm muscles so the baby can start to sit up, crawl, and eventually walk on their own Improve baby’s ability to move and control their muscles to complete various actions (sometimes called “motor skills”) Prevent flat spots on the back of baby’s head from the National Institute of Health website
