Take Your Child to the Library Day

Join the Rowayton Library in celebrating the 14th anniversary of this day on Saturday, February 1st, 2025! This year, we are thrilled to welcome back local author Valerie Bolling for a very special Storytime at 12:00 p.m. featuring two of her books! Stop by the Rowayton Library and Rowayton Community Center with your child or children to enjoy fun activities, featured book displays, snacks, and lots more library fun!

Take Your Child to the Library Day (TYCLD) is an international initiative that encourages families everywhere to take their children to their local library. Launched in 2011 in Connecticut by librarians Nadine Lipman (Waterford Public Library, retired) and Caitlin Augusta (Stratford Library) with artist Nancy Elizabeth Wallace, TYCLD raises community awareness about the importance of the library in the life of a child, and promotes library services and programs for children and families.

Animal Embassy: Preparing for Winter

Children in grade K through 5 are invited to join us as we welcome back Animal Embassy to take us on a journey around the globe with incredible live Animal Ambassadors. We’ll meet Animal Ambassadors representing diverse habitats! Animals prepare for winter in a variety of ways. Some animals migrate, some get new fur coats, some hibernate and some store food to last through the winter. We will explore the ways in which different animals prepare for the challenges of the winter season while meeting Animal Ambassadors such as a Rabbit, a Ferret, an African Bullfrog, and an Axolotl. Animal Embassy enables children of all ages to connect with the natural world with this unforgettable, interactive live animal presentation!

As this program is brought to us by an outside organization, we cannot exceed a specific maximum headcount capacity. As such, we ask that every child who wishes to attend be registered individually so that we may ensure that we do not exceed capacity.
