About Children's Program Registration:
We offer registration for children's programming 3 times a year. Except where noted, Winter/Fall children's programs begin in early February and conclude the first week of May. Registration for summer programming begins in June, and fall programming begins in September. These registrations must be conducted IN PERSON. Watch for sign-up dates. Due to space limitations enrollment is competitive. We try to double up sessions as much as space and personnel limitations will allow, but we are outgrowing our space and need to expand the library.
