SUMMARY:ecoEXPLORE Program: Mycology Season
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an educational program with the North Carolina Arboretum to learn all about the many different types of mushrooms and fungi that call Western North Carolina home! Ever wondered what exactly fungi is? Or what makes it different from plants and animals? At this program we’ll answer these and all of our biggest questions about mushrooms. We’ll learn about the many different types and go outside to see what fungi we can find! Come ready to hear all about ecoEXPLORE and discover the world of fungi together! This program is geared for ages 5 to 13. \nScientists need YOUR help in studying animals everywhere\, including your own backyard! Join the crew of ecoEXPLORERS — kids who submit observations of plants and animals for scientists to study and earn prizes while they do it: https://www.ecoexplore.net/.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Storytimes & Weekly Activity
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday Schedule:\n10:00 – 10:30 Babies & Toddlers (birth – 2 years)\n10:30 – 10:50 Activity Time\n11:00 – 11:30 Preschoolers (3 – 5 years) \nJoin us for stories\, songs\, movement\, activities and more as we celebrate and promote early and emergent literacy at the Transylvania County Library! Ages listed are typical ranges for the group storytimes. We realize that there will be some individual variance and we ask that you pay attention to your child’s signals to know what they are ready for\, or ask us if you are not sure. \nActivity Time weekly schedule:\n1st week of the month: Building\n2nd week of the month: Craft\n3rd week of the month: Dance\n4th week of the month: Art\nIf there is a 5th Tuesday in the month\, we will have a surprise activity! \n\nMore About Early and Emergent Literacy \nBabies\, toddlers\, preschoolers\, in all stages of development with their parents and caregivers are welcome to our morning of celebration. Children start to learn language from the day they are born. As they grow and develop\, their speech and language skills become increasingly more complex. During early speech and language development\, children learn skills that are important to the development of literacy (reading and writing). This stage\, known as emergent literacy\, begins at birth and continues through the preschool years. \nFrom birth\, babies listen to language patterns in everyday speech\, as well as in rhyming\, chanting\, and singing – all of these play an important part in literacy development. As they develop\, children see and interact with print in everyday situations. In everything from books and magazines to grocery lists\, whether at home or in preschool\, they are (and should be) encountering language in print well before they start elementary school. \nParents can see their child’s growing appreciation and enjoyment of print as they begin to recognize words that rhyme\, scribble with crayons\, point out street signs and symbols\, and name some letters of the alphabet. Gradually\, children combine what they know about speaking and listening with what they know about print and become ready to learn to read and write. \nThat’s what storytime at the library is all about!

SUMMARY:Tuesday Storytimes & Weekly Activity
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday Schedule:\n10:00 – 10:30 Babies & Toddlers (birth – 2 years)\n10:30 – 10:50 Activity Time\n11:00 – 11:30 Preschoolers (3 – 5 years) \nJoin us for stories\, songs\, movement\, activities and more as we celebrate and promote early and emergent literacy at the Transylvania County Library! Ages listed are typical ranges for the group storytimes. We realize that there will be some individual variance and we ask that you pay attention to your child’s signals to know what they are ready for\, or ask us if you are not sure. \nActivity Time weekly schedule:\n1st week of the month: Building\n2nd week of the month: Craft\n3rd week of the month: Dance\n4th week of the month: Art\nIf there is a 5th Tuesday in the month\, we will have a surprise activity! \n\nMore About Early and Emergent Literacy \nBabies\, toddlers\, preschoolers\, in all stages of development with their parents and caregivers are welcome to our morning of celebration. Children start to learn language from the day they are born. As they grow and develop\, their speech and language skills become increasingly more complex. During early speech and language development\, children learn skills that are important to the development of literacy (reading and writing). This stage\, known as emergent literacy\, begins at birth and continues through the preschool years. \nFrom birth\, babies listen to language patterns in everyday speech\, as well as in rhyming\, chanting\, and singing – all of these play an important part in literacy development. As they develop\, children see and interact with print in everyday situations. In everything from books and magazines to grocery lists\, whether at home or in preschool\, they are (and should be) encountering language in print well before they start elementary school. \nParents can see their child’s growing appreciation and enjoyment of print as they begin to recognize words that rhyme\, scribble with crayons\, point out street signs and symbols\, and name some letters of the alphabet. Gradually\, children combine what they know about speaking and listening with what they know about print and become ready to learn to read and write. \nThat’s what storytime at the library is all about!
