Storytelling Events for elementary children and their parents


The Ashland Library Children's Department is offering three (yes, three!) Storytimes. They are geared for toddlers and pre-schoolers who spend about 30 minutes each week listening, laughing and learning as they interact with Children's Librarian, Perii Hauschild-Owen, and one another.

 

The Storytime line-up is as follows:

  • Monday evenings from 6:30 - 7:00 PM. (kids are invited to wear pajamas).


  • Tuesday mornings from 11:30 - 12:00 Noon.


  • Wednesday mornings from 10:30 - 11:00 AM.


Join us for books, songs, finger plays, flannel board activities, and more!

    Author Night at the Library Featuring Patricia Broersma, Author of Riding Into Your Mythic Life.


    Patricia Broersma will be speaking at Author Night at the Ashland Library on Monday, September 8, from 7 to 8 p.m. Following a ten-year career as a horse trainer and instructor, Patricia Broersma turned to therapeutic riding sixteen years ago. She founded and directed a non-profit therapeutic riding program in San Antonio, Texas, and went on to re-establish, direct, and act as head instructor for HOPE Equestrian Center in Ashland, Oregon. As she says “The book brings my work as a therapeutic riding instructor with horses together with my studies in myth and body based healing modalities. It offers horse enthusiasts and professionals, as well as therapists, educators, and lay readers, the opportunity to explore and expand human potential through powerful experiences with horses and myth.” Author night is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library.
