Lapsit story times are designed for children, ages 1 to 3 only with participating adults. These programs often feature books, songs and activities that encourage early literacy. 

Family story times are designed for families with children of all ages. Children must be accompanied by a participating adult. These programs often feature stories, music, rhymes and a free craft activity. Saturday story times are a repeat performance of that week's story times.

Special Programs 
LEGO Club
November 17 @ 3:00            Woodstsock Public Library

The LEGO Club meets once a month with a different theme each month. Children work individually or with a team to construct their LEGO masterpieces. Their creations will be on display until the next meeting. Children of all ages are invited to participate; 9 and under must be accompanied by an adult.


Reading Dogs
These 10-15 minute programs encourage children 6 years of age and older to read by providing a non-judgmental, furry listener who won't laugh if you make mistakes or stumble over a word. Parents can register their child two weeks ahead for one session by calling the corresponding library. Children are asked to select their own reading material before their scheduled session. Call your local Cherokee and Pickens County Public Libraries to reserve your spot for one of our Reading Dog programs.
