Preschool Resources Featured at Norway Story Time

A special  Preschool Story Time will be held at the library on Wednesday, November 18 at 10:30 am to showcase toys, books, and computer games available at the library. CD/book Read-Alongs and Play 'n' Learn Alphabet Suitcases and Storytelling Kits will be demonstrated. These materials were made possible, in part, by a grant from the Oxford County Preschool Enrichment Trust. In addition, families will learn about the Early Literacy Station computer and Ready to Read literacy activity kits that families may use in the library. These materials are available for parents to use with their children who will be entering kindergarten within a year and are designed to develop pre-reading skills. 

Preschool Story Time is for children 2-5 and their parents or 
other caregivers. No pre-registration is necessary. 
For more information, please call the 
Children's Room at 743-5308

  Sample library value calculation
See this example of what one month's library usage equals in dollars. In this sample, 4 books, 2 movies, 1 interlibrary loan, 1 museum pass, 2 children's programs, and 2 hours of computer time were used in one month. The value is determined using the calculator found at Maine State Library's website, try it for yourself!
