The following programs are ones that are held monthly at the Lackawanna County Children's Library. For more information on when these programs are held, and for registration links, please see EventKeeper.
Mother Goose Lap Rap
For babies birth through 23 months old, Mother Goose Lap Rap is a program that will provide parents/caregivers and children with an introductory experience to children’s literature and the library. We offer Mother Goose Lap Rap to families in response to the increased awareness among professionals and parents of the importance of infant and toddler years to language development, which is essential to learning and literacy. Parents/caregivers are encouraged to participate with their children. Children are encouraged to borrow library books, so please remember to bring your library card!
The Pre-K Storytime program serves as an important learning experience for young children ages 4 to 5. For each child, the enjoyment of books is building a solid foundation for learning to read. Good picture books enrich a child’s oral vocabulary. More importantly, they are learning to listen. For many children, storytime programs are one of their first experiences in enjoying and sharing something with a group their own age and an adult who is not a relative. Parents are encouraged to participate with their children. When the stories are finished, there will be a puppet show and an age-appropriate craft for parents and children to share. Children are encouraged to borrow library books, so please remember to bring a library card! 
Tales for Tots
The Tales for Tots program serves as an introduction to a library storytime for toddlers ages 2 to 3 and their parents/caregivers. This storytime will not only introduce literature and related activities to young children, but it will also enable parents to become familiar with quality children’s literature. In this storytime, the librarian will read age-appropriate picture books and lead the parents and children in fingerplays and creative movement activities. Parents are encouraged to participate with their children. When the stories are finished, there will be an age-appropriate craft for parents and children to share. Children are encouraged to borrow library books, so please remember to bring your library card!
Pre-K Storytime 
Toddlers on the Move
This program promotes active learning through interactive songs, rhymes, creative movement, and music. It is geared for the ones and twos so parents are encouraged to participate with their children. Remember your library card so you can take some of the great music and stories home!
