Bad news for parents with children who look forward to fun books, bubbles, and parachute time: The Phoenixville Library will hold its last First Steps to Reading event on Monday, April 30. And before anyone grumbles about funding or priorities, this is all related to the renovation project for the facility. It’s possible that everything will be back on track soon and our little crawlers will be snapping scarves at iridescent bubbles within a few months, but at this point it’s too soon to be anything but hopeful.
After the playtime following storytime (which is actually a lot of fun for the 15-months-and-up crowd), there won’t be many things for toddlers and babies at the library. Of course, the library won’t be offering much during the month of May at all, because it will be closed from May 7 to 22 for construction. For more information, click here, or go to the meeting on Monday, April 30, at 7 p.m. in the Carnegie Room with your list of questions. Otherwise, just remember that you can borrow books for a little longer while the construction is underway, so you may want to check out any books your little readers may want from the children’s section soon.
Rebecca Krause, Director of Children’s & Young Adult Services says at this point there is no set location to host the First Steps to Reading series, mainly because the room it’s currently in is scheduled to be heavily remodeled (specifically: they’re going to knock down a wall). She says the program could resume in the coming months if they find an appropriate site, but so far nothing’s been promised.
Since we’re on the e-mail list, we’ll keep you posted and let you know when something becomes known. Until then, Monday and Wednesday mornings will be a little less fun for our little listeners.
This is too bad. I was lucky enough to come to one session with my granddaughter and I thought it was an amazing program!! the children loved it!! I hope it can resume soon!
