North Suffolk Library

Neil works out in Suffolk, so I knew I wanted to spend a little time there this summer so that we could meet him for lunch. I checked into the North library, which is the closest to where he works and found that they have several classes. All of the classes at the Suffolk libraries are free and open to the public to attend, as listed below. Check out one of their many activities if you're in the area!

  • Itsy Bitsy Babies- Tuesdays, 9:30-10:00 
  • Toddler Time- Tuesday & Wednesdays, 10:15-10:45 (This is what we went to!)
  • Growing Up Kindergarten- Tuesdays 11:00-11:45 (registration required)
  • Tiny Tots- Wednesdays 9:30-10:00
  • Story Time and Play- Wednesdays, 11:00-11:45
The library itself has a children's section with a train table, checkers, toys, and large connect four games. The class focused on rhymes, numbers, and letter recognition. There was a weekly at home reading strategy for parents, which I love as a teacher. Our favorite part of the class was the very end. The instructor had a bubble machine and the kids had a bubble dance party. R was all about it.




The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program is an early literacy program where children from birth to kindergarten are challenged to read 1,000 book before starting kindergarten. The goal is to spark a love of reading. Everyone can register at suffolkpubliclibrary.com/1000books. Books are logged and kids earn digital badges.
