Read, Rock and Rhyme

This program is made possible through a Library Services and Technology Act grant that is funded through the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
The Institute is the primary source of federal support for the nation's 122,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. Its mission is to grow and sustain a "Nation of Learners" because life-long learning is essential to a democratic society and individual success. Through its grant making, convenings, research and publications, the Institute empowers museums and libraries nationwide to provide leadership and services to enhance learning in families and communities, sustain cultural heritage, build twenty-first-century skills, and increase civic participation.

Read, Rock and Rhyme is fashioned after the Mother Goose on the Loose program. Attending this program on a regular basis aids children's development in the following areas:
Motor skills, Musical skills, Emotional skills, Social skills, Preliteracy skills, School Readiness skills, Visual skills, and General knowledge of the world around them.

Join us as we share books, rhymes, musical instruments, songs, movement, flannel board tales, puppets, finger plays and more.

In addition to this program, please watch for new board, picture and parenting books, music CDs and puppets, all provided through this grant, for you to enjoy with your children.
