Matthews Library Programs
The Matthews Public Library offers an array of programs for all age groups, including story times and summer programs and activities and a monthly book club. For information on the book club, please visit the Monthly Book Club page or to learn more about the summer reading programs, please visit that page!
Reading to Bentley
Bentley will be at the library Thursdays at 10:00 a.m. beginning on June 21, 2012. All reluctant readers welcome! Reading to dogs is easier for many young learners than reading to grown ups. All of the anxieties and frustrations that children encounter when asked to read aloud disappear when their audience is a good natured, lovable, sweet tempered dog.
Puppet Theater
Come one, come all to Polka Dot City! All are welcome at the library’s puppet show for toddlers and pre-schoolers–no registration required. A show is put on the first Wednesday of each month at 10 a.m. in the library’s own professional puppet theater.
Story Time for Toddlers and Pre-schoolers
The other Wednesdays of the month at 10 a.m. there will be a story followed by a craft for toddlers and pre-schoolers at the library. Everyone is welcome, and there is no registration required!
Smart Start Story Time
Sponsored by the Lebanon County Library System, these exciting story time classes for babies ages birth to two years old feature an interactive story time filled with games, songs and books. A parent or caregiver must be present with children during class, and siblings are welcome! These classes are free, no registration required, but space is limited and participation is on a first come, first serve basis. This class will meet at Matthews Public Library Mondays in March and April at 11:30 a.m. Click here for more information and for the schedule of story times for all Lebanon County Libraries.
