Librarians consider children's developmental stages when planning stories, fingerplays, and craft activities.

Some programs require registration (indicated by this symbol - ®).

An adult caregiver must accompany babies and toddlers up to 3½ years. 

The Kalamazoo Public Library Kids Calendar shows all upcoming programs for kids.
