Chelsea family book club is a wonderful opportunity to spend more time together and explore interesting topics with your child. Our goal is to read and discuss a variety of books and genres and learn more about our children’s thoughts and opinions. Children age group: 8-11 years old. Purpose: developing fundamental skills of literacy and critical thinking, fostering family connections, nurturing child’s imagination, creating positive memories, growing lifelong readers, and, most importantly, having fun!

Dinosaur Petting Zoo: The U-M Museum of Natural History will be visiting the library with a table full of touchable dinosaur specimens. Learn how scientists tell the difference between a claw, a tail spike, and a tooth. Pet some dinosaur skin and learn all about Dinosaurs during a short presentation. Later, make-and-take a Dino party hat to really bring out your ROAR!

Play an important and powerful role in shaping the early learning experiences of your child! Babytime is the perfect place to socialize and learn important skills with your baby or toddler. We’ll be singing songs, doing bouncy rhymes, learning some “baby signing” and reading along to fun board books in the first half of this program. In the second half, the toys come out! While the babies play (and learn to share!), caregivers have a chance to socialize and exchange information.In order for all children to participate and have a successful experience, please let us know if your child has any special needs that we can accommodate. Call Keegan at 734-475-8732, ext. 218.
