The Southport Branch began in 1967 as a small storefront in the Madison Square Shopping Center. Following acquisition of a site for a larger facility, the new 15,700-square-foot library opened in 1974 on East Stop 11 Road. Even before the move occurred, a group of Perry Township residents demonstrated support by raising more than $5,000 to provide additional books for the new library.
Preschoolers ages 3 - 5 and an adult are invited for an active class featuring stories, songs, and rhymes that focus on early literacy skills and school preparedness. Stay after the stories are finished for play time.
Beginning or reluctant readers ages 6 - 11 are invited to read aloud to a registered therapy dog who loves to listen to stories. It's a great way to improve a child's reading skills and self-confidence. Children may read from any book they choose.
Babies and toddlers up to age 3 with an adult are invited for an active class featuring stories, songs, and rhymes that focus on early literacy skills. This program will be followed by playtime with age appropriate toys and activities. Caregivers will have an opportunity to socialize.
