You are your child’s first and most important teacher. Regularly reading aloud to your child beginning at infancy establishes an intimate relationship with you and their developing a love for reading. 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a self-directed national program that promotes reading to your newborn, toddler and pre-school child. Register for this free, on-going program at the circulation desk.
Have a story about Williams Bay you'd like to share?
Come down to the library community room every 3rd Saturday at 11AM for Shore Stories!
A Shore Story is a special memory, poem, lyric, or even an illustration of your fond times experiencing nature in the Bay on land, or on water. At this Writing Session, we will reflect, write, and share our stories. Shore Stories will be collected and kept at the library.
We hope to see you there!
