Programs at La Conner Regional Library
Summer Reading
All students in grades K-8 are invited to participate in the summer reading program. The library staff will attend school assemblies or classrooms in early June to invite students to participate.
Summer reading participants are welcome to attend events at any of the libraries in Skagit County. For our local programs see the schedule below. Keep checking back for new additions to the schedule.
Computer Classes
Computer classes are offered periodically at the library and with our portable computer lab we now can take our classes to other facilities. We use a community volunteer and the schedule is determined by demand and availablity. Class size is limited to 9 people. If you are interested in the classes listed below or any other computer classes call the library at 360-466-3352.
The current series of three computer classes consists of: Beginning computer use and Surfing the Internet
Storytimes
New for the Summer only: pre-schooler/primary children and their parents are invited to attend Storytime Tuesday morning 10:30 a.m. and lasts about 30 minutes. Stories, songs and simple craft projects.
Storytime is held in the library, before the library opens to the public. Each storytime has a theme (weather, food, pets, holidays, etc).
The goal of storytime is to help young children develop literacy skills and a love for stories, predict events, early math skills, and read independently for pleasure.
Note the New Days:
For little ones birth to 18 months we have Baby 'n Me Storytimes every Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m. Simple stories, songs and fingerplays designed to introduce baby to pre-literacy activities.
If your child is 18 months through 3 years old we have Toddler Time every Friday morning at 10:30 a.m. Stories, songs and pre-literacy activities designed especially for them.
Arts Alive & Quilt Festivals
Arts activities for children and adults are planned during La Conner's Art's Alive! Festival in November. The Library holds its annual Bookmark Contest in conjunction with Arts Alive! Bookmarks are judged on originality (in all but spelling!) and projection of the theme.
During the Annual Quilt Festival in September the library sponsors activities and has a quilt (or two) hung in the library during the month long quilt walk.
