Youth Services seeks to encourage a lifelong love of reading in our younger patrons, from infants to teenagers. The library serves all patrons regardless of age, and hosts programs geared towards different age groups all year round. In addition to special programs that can be found on our web calendar, regularly meeting activities are listed below.
Babies & Preschool
Toddlers at playgroup yoga
Preschool Storytime– Tuesdays, 10:30-11:15 AM
For babies and young children, each week we will have a read aloud story and a fun craft kids can make and take home. This will be happening online– see below.
Playgroup– Wednesdays, 10:30 AM-noon
Playgroup for babies and toddlers. This is a great opportunity for parents and toddlers to connect with each other. This is happening at the Blue Hill Town Park and everyone is encouraged to dress for the weather.
School Age Kids

Chess Club– Thursdays, during the school year, 3:00-4:00 PM
Kids of all ages are invited to the weekly Kids’ Chess Club. Participants of all experience levels are welcome.
Newborns, infants, toddlers and their caregivers are invited to participate in 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten with the Blue Hill Library. In this ongoing program, caregivers will read with their child (or listen to an audiobook together), logging each book read on a reading log (participants can pick up a reading log at the library). Once 100 books are read, bring your completed log to the library to receive a prize and your next recording sheet until 1,000 books have been read.
