Preschool Storytime

Join us for fun stories, activities, and a craft! We focus on building early literacy skills such as recognition of the alphabet and written language, as well as oral language skills through rhymes or songs. Caregivers are encouraged to participate in the fun! Preschool Storytime is also a great place to socialize with other families and meet new friends.

LEGO® Challenge

Take on our LEGO® building challenge! We provide the prompts, you provide the creativity. Creations can be displayed in the children’s room at the Riverton library!

Children will be given a specific theme or goal to create a project either separately or together. Building with LEGO® supports skill building and problem solving for children. All LEGO® bricks will be provided by the library. Please do not bring in LEGO® bricks from home.

This is best for kids 6-9, but all children are welcome.
