Lapsit storytime at the library

Milford — Designed for the youngest library users and their parents or caregivers, Pike County Public Library’s “Lapsit Storytime” Program offers children between 0 and 35 months and their parents or caregiver a chance to share time together at the library. During the 30-minute programs, the library’s youngest patrons and their grownups will be exposed to language, books and playful activities in a positive and supportive atmosphere. Be sure to bring a pillow or blanket to sit on for you and your child. “Lapsit Programs are a great way to introduce children to the library, to begin a lifetime of regular library visits, and to help children develop into lifelong library users,” says Pike County Public Library Director Ellen Schaffner. Pike’s Lapsit Storytimes will be held Wednesdays from 1:15 to 1:45 p.m. at the current Library Headquarters in Milford. The schedule will alternate weekly between the Baby and Toddler Programs. Baby Lapsit Storytime for children ages 0-17 months will run every other Wednesday from Oct. 1 through Dec. 3. Toddler Lapsit Storytime for children ages 18-35 months will run every other Wednesday from Oct. 8 to Dec. 10. Registration is in person at the current Library Headquarters, 201 Broad St., in Milford, or by phone at 570-296-8211.
