Take the Kids

We are happy to present our Adventures in Story Time, an interactive program of movement, laughter, learning, stories...and bubbles!

Ms. Atley brings warmth, energy, and creativity to every session, making learning come alive for children of all ages.

Whether you're a parent, caregiver, educator, or community partner, Story Time is a joyful way to connect kids with books and build a lifelong love of reading.

Each week will focus on a different early literacy component which can aid caregivers in supporting their child's reading journey.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, this is a ticketed event.

Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis at the circulation desk beginning 30 minutes before each session.

A second session also runs on the same day from 11am-12pm

A half-hour of stories, songs and movement pitched right at toddlers, at the San Tan Valley Library. Short enough to hold their attention and a reliable way to get out of the house mid-week.

Real gear. Real trucks. Real firefighters. Teens aged 14 to 18 get a morning inside a working fire station, and not the tour version either.

Participants pull on actual turnout gear and find out how fast they can suit up. They handle a hose line, run the rescue drag stations under supervision, and walk the morning apparatus check with the crew to see every tool that comes off the engine. There is a live CPR demonstration, a tour of where the crew actually lives, eats and sleeps across a 24 hour shift, and then lunch with the firefighters for the questions that matter: what it pays, what the schedule is really like, what school you need, and how each of them got in.

Free, and lunch is included. Space is capped at 20 and it is first come, first served, with a waitlist for a possible second session, so register early.

Wear closed toe shoes and long pants, skip anything with drug, alcohol or offensive graphics, and bring a water bottle. Group home staff need to attend with participants.
