Youth Programs at the Winooski Library
Check out all our spring programs below! Everything is free and open to anyone, even if you don't have a library card. All programming runs on the school calendar, and will not take place during school vacations. If you have any questions about any programs, call the library at 802-655-6424 or email the children's librarian at [email protected]. We'd love to have you join us!
Greater Burlington YMCA's Early Learning Readiness Program
If you are a caregiver of a child between the ages 0-5, come join us with your child for an array of engaging learning activities designed to help your child build skills for a successful transition into Kindergarten! Free snack is included in this free program run by the Greater Burlington YMCA. To learn more and/or to pre-register, contact Tina Boljevac at [email protected] or by phone at 802.862.9622. The program is offered at the Winooski Memorial Library on Tuesdays and Fridays, from 9-11am.
Pajama Story Time
Join us the 3rd Friday evening of each month for an after-hours pajama story extravaganza! Starting at 6:30, we'll share stories and songs and crafts around a different theme, and close with cookies and milk. This event is open to families with children of all ages.
Preschool Outreach
Do you run a home daycare or work in a daycare center in Winooski and want to offer library story hours for your children, but don't have a way to get them to the library? Give us a call and Jessica will bring story hour to you! We have literacy kits that include 8-12 books and developmentally appropriate toys on a theme that can be checked out for use in a home or center, and can also bring books for students to choose and check out at home if desired. See below for a list of topics! Centers or homes don't need to be registered to receive services, and we don't report that information to anyone, so don't hesitate to let us help! Site visits are free and can be scheduled to work with your needs. We are also happy to arrange home visits for those who stay home and care for children and can't make it in to the library.

Saturday Programming
Join us Saturday afternoons from 2-4pm for DIY Crafternoons! We will have a maker cart available with at least six different DIY projects available for library patrons. Projects will be appropriate for a variety of age groups and some may contain small parts. We will rotate the projects available, so there will always be something new to try.
Every 3rd Saturday afternoon we will be hosting a Family Book to Film Series at the library from 2-4pm. Each month we will share a different picture book and it's movie adaptation. Feel free to bring snacks and a pillow or blanket to snuggle up together to enjoy the movie!
