Live Oak Public Library-Southwest Chatham Branch (Behind the Savannah Mall)
By: Crystal Sanders
If
you are looking for a wonderful place to take the kids this summer,
swing on over to the library. My girls and I have been going to story
time here for probably a year and they enjoy it so much! The children's
librarian Ms. Alyssa is GREAT! She reads 4-5 books, sings songs, and
gets the kids involved with the songs and stories. My girls are always
so excited to see her and sing all the songs!
They have different story times for different ages.
Acorns Storytime: Ages 0-2, Tue @ 10:30 a.m. 3-4 books with a rhyming prose and songs to get parents and babies involved
Tree
Tots Storytime: Ages 0-4, Wed @ 10:30 a.m. 3-4 books with songs to get
kids more involved, sitting, standing, counting, etc.
Preschool
Storytime: Ages 3-5, Thu @ 10:30 a.m. 5-6 books with a circle time
approach. Children sit on the rug usually without parents (we get to
sit on the stairs) and books are more of a story format. Usually a
color, number or letter of the day. Gets the kids ready for the
preschool setting.
