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.

This program is presented by library staff on Friday, June 27th from 11 am to 11:30 am!

Spring Into Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night’s Rave

 

Join us this spring as we celebrate The Bard with movies you might (or might not have!) known were Shakespeare adaptations.

This week’s selection is A Midsummer Night’s Rave (2002) – Life begins when the sun goes down for a group of party-prone friends attending an L.A. rave. The music starts and the dream begins as party-goer Puck gives them each a sample of his “love potion”. This glowing green liquid fuels their inner desires and allows the friends to connect with their long secret loves. Rated R.

This movie is based on A Midsummer Night’s Dream.. If you’d like to read the play before watching, stop by Riverton Library to check out a copy. If not, just drop in to enjoy the movie!

This program is presented by library staff on Tuesday, June 24th from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm!

Chapter Chat Book Group

Chapter Chat is a read-together group for folks 17 and older who have intellectual disabilities. The group meets every week to read a novel together.

At the event, we will take turns reading aloud from the book. You can read aloud as much or as little as you like, or you can just listen! This is not a reading instruction class: we read together to socialize and share the experience of reading a good book.

This program is presented by library staff and meets in June from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm on the dates below:

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.

 

This event is presented by library staff on Tuesday, June 24th from 3:30 to 4:30 pm!

The Very Long Book Group

Ready to get involved with a book long-term? Join us as we tackle 500+ pagers together, in real life-compatible installments of a couple hundred pages at a time. We are currently reading The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton. This month we will be discussing pages 1-256. Stop by Riverton Library for a copy of the book while supplies last.

This program is hosted by BCLS Library Staff on June 17th from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.
