The Quick Version

  • Story Book Corner with Ms. Hilary runs Tuesdays at 10am — stories, songs, and a themed craft — but some sessions are held at the Seaford Chick-fil-A instead of the library, so check which before you go.
  • Little Acorns Music & Movement is Wednesdays at 9am for babies: songs, rhymes, finger plays, and bounces to take home.
  • Free, like every Delaware library, but a lot of the programs here require registration.

What to Expect

Bridgeville's children's programming runs through Ms. Hilary. Story Book Corner is Tuesdays at 10am — stories, songs, and a themed craft, all ages welcome — though some sessions are held at the Seaford Chick-fil-A instead of the library (September 1 is one), so check before you drive. Little Acorns Music & Movement is Wednesdays at 9am and is really for babies: songs, rhymes, finger plays, and bounces you can reuse at home. On the second and fourth Tuesday at 11am kids can read to Oliver and Penny, the L.E.A.P. literacy dogs. There's also a homeschool group, a tweens book club, and occasional family nights. Free, like every Delaware library — but registration is required more often than not.

Who It's Best For

Little Acorns is aimed at babies, Story Book Corner welcomes all ages, and the L.E.A.P. reading dogs suit early readers. There's a homeschool group for school-age kids and a tweens book club.

Pro Tips

  • Some Story Book Corner sessions are at the Seaford Chick-fil-A, not the library — the September 1 one is, so check the calendar.
  • Register ahead — family nights, workshops, and several programs here say registration is required.
  • Saturday is only 10am–2pm and Sunday is closed, so weekend visits need planning.
