Music and Movement

25-30 minutes of music, movement, and a themed story (usually singable) for young children to teach early literacy skills and healthy habits!

Come to Music & Movement at the library! Music and movement teach the early literacy skills of listening and following directions, anticipation, and rhyming. Moving to music helps children exhaust pent-up energy, builds self-confidence and a positive self-image. Tickets will be handed out, first-come first-served, at the children's desk 15 minutes prior to the program.  Space is limited.
