Register your child

The library is a wonderful place to ignite your child's love of reading.

Our eight-week children's programs are open to caregivers and their children ages 12 months to 5 years. These programs are specially designed to encourage early literacy and to foster an early love of learning and reading through stories, crafts, music and friendship-building! These programs are free and are made possible through the generosity of our community. Registration is required and open to Tri-Valley residents.

All programs begin the week of October 14th.
