Children's Programs

Programs


Each month, we offer a variety of developmentally appropriate programming such as story times, parent-child play classes, craft programs, family shows, and more, in both our Dix Hills and our Melville locations.

Please be aware that all of our programs are designed according to the developmental needs of the ages listed for each program, so we appreciate your assistance in only signing your children up for programs that they are age-eligible for, in order to ensure a positive library class for all participants. Children must meet the minimum age or grade listed by the FIRST day a class is offered in order to be eligible for that session.


When registering for programs, please note the following:

  • For early childhood and preschool programs, list your child's NAME and BIRTHDATE in the note field when registering online.
  • For school age programs, list your child's NAME and GRADE.
  • We reserve the right to cancel your program registration if this information is not given, to ensure that children are registered for the correct library classes.
  • Waitlisted patrons will only be called or emailed ahead of time if someone else officially cancels from the program. Otherwise, patrons on the waitlist can come to the library the day of the class to see if a registered patron does not show up. We will hold registered spots for five minutes at the start of a class, and will then allow waitlisted patrons access to the program.
  • Craft classes may contain paint and other messy materials. While the library has smocks available for children to use if they desire, please dress your child accordingly for craft classes.
