Pomfret Public Library - Events

Our story time is designed to be engaging but low demand. The goal is to provide a safe and fun space for the children but also to allow parents/caretakers flexibility. We meet every Tuesday morning at 10:30am for an hour. For the first half hour of our time together, we have open play time with different activities and crafts. This allows for kids to get their wiggles out a bit, the shyer ones to filter in at their own pace, and parents to take their time with the chaos. After we switch gears into group mode! We sing, play instruments, play games, wiggle and groove, and then we end with our story. 

All age children are always welcome, but the program is best for 5 and under including infants. Registration is not necessary, but if you would like to recieve emails for weather updates, program cancellations, etc.... then please leave your email address and your name on the sign up list. We never spam you or send unrelated emails. 

Our kid's book club is a unique experience. We aren't going to sit around in a circle and chat about the book and answer discussion questions, that's too much like school. At the club, we play! Each month we will be reading a different biographical book and then diving into fun activities to represent the book we just read. Did we just read about a chef? Then we're cooking! A famous athlete? We're learning that sport! Perhaps we're looking at a break through scientific discovery, you know we'll be doing experiments of some sort! 

This club is for children ages 8-12 years old (3rd-8th grade). Registration is mandatory and you are signing up for the school year, obviously things come up and everyone misses occasionally. Clubs are held on Thursdays at 4:30pm near the end of the month and our meetings are 1 hour long.  Sponsored by Friends of Pomfret public Library.

What is a Silent Book Club? It's an hour of quiet camaraderie and communal silent reading, each person with their own book, followed by bookish chat with fellow readers. The PPL Silent Book Club gathers at 6 PM the second Thursday of each month at The Vanlla Bean Cafe. Registration is not required, you can just drop in, but if you do register we will include you in any email communications about the Club.
