CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS

Storytime

Toddlers &

Preschoolers

Storytime at James River Valley Library System is deigned for toddlers, and preschoolers, or any child who still enjoys hearing stories, singing songs, and using their imaginations! Stories, puppets, songs, action rhymes, and child/parent participation are some of the fun activities included during storytime. No registration is needed for individual families. Please, no large groups, as space is limited. Storytime will run for approximately 30 minutes, but may run longer or shorter depending on the activities. Check out our events calendar here, to find out when the next Storytime event is scheduled. 

After School Activities

Ages: 9+ 

Join us at Alfred Dickey Library after-school each day for fun activities! There will be games, crafts, snacks and more! There will be no After-School programs during the holidays the library is closed, or if the library is closed due to poor weather. These programs are intended for kids ages 9-13. If the child is under age 9, we ask that a parent or guardian remain in the library while the child attends the program. Please see the events calendar for event dates and times.

LEGO Club

LEGO club will meet at the Alfred Dickey Library from 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm on the second Thursday of each month.

Each child will have the opportunity to share with the group what they created. All Legos and supplies will be provided. Please do not bring your own legos.
