Dorothy Peppard, children’s librarian at the Haddonfield Public Library, discussed some of the upcoming program’s for young readers throughout April in the children’s section. Peppard and her staff coordinate and create unique and fun activities for the young readers that encourage learning and education.
• Preschool story time for ages 3 to 5. Held each Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. and Wednesday at 1:30 p.m.
• Toddler Time for 2 to 3 year olds each Thursday at 10:30 a.m.
• The theme for April story times and toddler time is bugs, Peppard said. Kids will make a butterfly craft at story time on April 19 and 20 and at Toddler Time on April 21.
• Spanish Story Time with a craft for children 3 to 6 year will be held Tuesday, April 5 and 19 at 1:30 p.m.
• Wii gaming is available after school every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 3:15 to 4:45 p.m. Kids must have a library card in good standing to sign out equipment to use with our system in the meeting room for 45 minute sessions.
The Haddonfield Friends of the Library purchased the Wii gaming system and a 55-inch flatscreen television for the children’s library. Peppard said the television and gaming system will also be used to present movies and music to the young members of the library. It will replace an antiquated projector in the library.
