Join us after storytime for play and socialization for toddlers and preschoolers. Children will get time to explore play and pretend with cars, toys, or any place their imagination takes them. Best for children ages 1 to 4 years and their grown-ups.

All teens (ages 11-19) are invited to join The Library's Teen Advisory Board (TAB)! TAB Members volunteer, organize and participate in teen programming, and give their opinions on how to make The Library awesome by attending monthly meetings and filling out online surveys. Currently, TAB is meeting in-person at our Fairmount Branch.

Contact Claire Trimble, Youth Services Librarian, if you are interested in joining the Teen Advisory Board. You can email her at ctrimble@davenportlibrary.com or pick up a TAB application in The Library's teen areas.

Children ages 6-9 are invited to come and explore the art of theatre through three different topics: acting, musical theatre and puppetry! We will go over the basic tools and methods used in all three areas while also putting them to practice through different games and activities. Whether you are completely new to the art of theatre or wanting to pick up some different skills, there will be plenty to learn about the power of theatre and play!

We will explore the basics of musical theatre and how we can use music and movement within theatre! Games and activities will be used to talk about the power of music and dance and how we can use them to express ourselves and communicate different ideas and emotions.

This program is intended for children ages 6-9.

Registration for this event is free but is required.
