Book Discussion
This group meets monthly to discuss a chosen book. Titles alternate between fiction and non-fiction. The group is made up of residents of both Nottingham and Northwood and the meetings alternate between the two town libraries as well. See Book Discussion Titles page for a list of the books we have read since the group started in 1990.

Lapsit story hour and playgroup
(age birth – 24 months)
Our “baby” group offers an opportunity for babies and their caregivers to gather for rhymes, songs and puppets. A simple book intended for this age is generally highlighted. Each session concludes with time for parents to socialize and for children to engage in free play and toy exploration. Note: This year this program will meet on Wednesday mornings at 9:00 AM.
Toddler Story Hour (ages two with parent or caregiver and 3 year olds)
The Tuesday story time offers a variety of books, songs, finger plays and felt board activities. Every session concludes with a craft. Parents/Caregivers can attend the program with their children.
Story hour (ages three – six years)
Our Wednesday story time is geared for children 3 and up who will attend independently and have a longer attention span than a toddler. The Thursday story times are geared for the longer attention span of the older preschool (4-6 year old ) child. These 45 minute programs include stories, finger plays, songs and puppets. Each session concludes with a craft project. Parents may help out with the craft program!
Summer Reading Program
Every summer, the library offers fun incentives to keep children reading all summer long. There are workshops of stories, games and crafts are available for children ages 5 and up. See the Summer Reading Program page for more details.
