About the Program

Little Sprouts, Big Habits

Sprouts Storytime brings Pre-K through 1st graders together at the Surf City Library for a story, a healthy snack to taste, and music and movement to get wiggles out. Each session mixes reading, nutrition, and play so children connect early with the habits that keep them strong: all free, all welcome.
