Words are one of the most important languages of love for babies and young children! One the best ways to give babies and children an abundance of engaging and loving words is through songs and stories.
Read-Along Love Songs for Baby, a new initiative of the Family Reading Partnership, features five charming books that are both songs and stories. The story songs are brought to life by good friends, musician John Simon, who sings, and educator, Cal Walker, whose rich, warm read-aloud voice is entertaining for both children and adults.
Babies, toddlers and preschoolers, and the families who come with them will love the rhyme, rhythm, and fun of the Read-Along Love Songs for Baby performance, as well as the beautiful illustrations of the 5 books that serve as the back drop for the performance.
This program is supported by funds from the New York State Library’s Family Literacy Library Services grant program.
The public is invited to Conversations with the Director, an ongoing effort for the community to discuss library matters, review resources, or explore ways the library benefits Trumansburg.
This month, the conversation will center on the May 21 Ballot Proposition. Follow this link to find library levy FAQs:

Margery was a beloved member of our library family, dedicating over 6,000
volunteer hours here, and always welcoming everyone by name and offering her
beautiful smile. She had high standards in everything, was a talented
seamstress, avid gardener and reader. She will be dearly missed.
