Annually Scheduled Children's Programs

Reading is FUNdamental... and our goal at the Payson Public Library is to offer community children a variety of reading programs and activities that are educational, interactive and fun!

In addition to our weekly "Children's Story Time", we schedule many other activities throughout the year designed especially for children. Visit this page often for upcoming events and activities.

The following information provides you with an overview of our annual programs and will give you an idea of what these programs are about.  As information for the current year becomes available, these activities will appear on the "Upcoming Activities & Events Calendar"  posted above.

Cat-in-the Hat:  This event is scheduled every year in celebration of "Dr. Seuss' Birthday". This special evening includes stories, activities, prize giveaways & hats for every child!  Dinner is also provided -- we may not be serving "Green Eggs and Ham" but, not to worry & not to holler... a Hot Dog, Chips, Punch & a Cookie are only a dollar!

Popcorn & a Movie:  This activity is normally scheduled during the Winter Holiday School Break. The movies are generally rated G and are appropriate for ages 3-18.  The Library provides the Popcorn.  Parents are responsible for judging the suitability of the movie selection for their child/children.

Princess For A Day Tea Party:  This program is designed especially for girls. The girls will be able to “dress-up” with fancy hats, sparkling jewelry (party dresses are optional, but delightful).  Of course, tea and special treats will be served and there will also be a fashion runway, games & prizes for everyone!

In-as-much as this event was completely filled up the first week of sign-up -- the girls will be happy to know that we are now planning on holding two separate Tea Parties ~ one for girls ages 4 to 7 and one for girls ages 8 to 12.

Tiny Tots Holiday Program:  This program features lots of fun activities, stories, puppet shows, games, songs, crafts & treats and a visit from Santa himself.  Space is limited and sign-up is requested.
