Sarah's Circle
 Sarah's Circle is a pre-school program offered, free of charge, to parents and care-givers and their young children. It is designed to introduce young children to reading and libraries.
The program is run at the Kemptville Branch and is facilitated by our Children's Programmer, Sue Bergeron, and sponsored by the Friends of the Library. Each session runs for 45-60 minutes. We now offer four sessions: Monday (10-11 am and 11 am-12 noon); Tuesday (10-11 am and 11 am-12 noon).
Sessions include songs, stories, an activity, and finger plays. Sue uses a number of props including puppets, flannel board,
floor puzzles and big books. Each week a different theme is explored, letters, numbers, fall, fruits and vegetables.
The sessions are not designed as a playgroup or drop-in centre. Parents must stay with their children. We have babies as
young as three months attending the program.
Fall session is now full. If you would like to be placed on the waiting list please fill out a registration form at the Information desk at the Kemptville Branch.
This program requires pre-registration. If you are interested in enrolling your child please call 613-258-4711 or email kids@ngpl.ca.

Drop in Story Time will return thanks to a generous donation from the 
A story hour held in the early evening from 6:30PM to 7:30PM. Children are encouraged to come in their pyjamas and bring a snugly toy as our Children's Programmer, Sue Bergeron, lulls them to sleep with a bedtime story.
Juice Jam is a free program offered the first Saturday of each month designed to introduce music to young children (0-10 yrs). The "jams" are hosted by Kerry and Sue Badgley though we often have guest performers.
