Clubs & Other Programs
For four-year olds
Count Me In and Count Me In, Too – Registration Required
Yes, Kids + Books + Math do equal FUN! in each of these three-week math-based programs. Children are introduced to a variety of mathematical concepts through specially selected children’s books that connect math with children’s everyday experiences. In addition to a story or two, hands-on activities and group participation will enhance the learning experience.
For Kindergarteners and First Graders
After School Snacks – Registration Required
Even school-age children love to listen to stories, so add milk and cookies for a fun transition from school to home. This monthly program encourages children to explore stories through crafts, science, games or other fun activities.

Series-ous Fun is a lively discussion group for students in 2nd and 3rd grade who like to read and talk about books. Students are encouraged to read at least one book in a pre-determined series and participate in a variety of fun series-related activities. A new series is selected each month.

Nutmeg Club
Kids in grades 4-6 are invited to join the Nutmeg Club. Members are encouraged to read all ten of the nominees and participate in monthly book discussions and related activities based on the books. Throughout the year, we schedule child-only and parent-child book discussions where you can share your thoughts on the nominees. For parents who attend the parent-child discussions, parents are expected to have read the book and to participate in the discussions.
