The Quick Version

  • Free branch in Seaford with a steady weekday lineup for little kids: Little Jays Story Time with Ms. Carla, Fantastic Friday Crafts, Music with Miss Maria, and PAWS for Reading.
  • The hours are the catch — Monday through Friday 10am–6pm, but Saturday only on the last Saturday of the month (10am–1pm), and closed Sunday.
  • A STEAM Program runs on a handful of dates rather than every week, so check the calendar first.

What to Expect

Seaford's branch runs a steady weekday program calendar for young kids: Little Jays Story Time with Ms. Carla most weeks, Fantastic Friday Crafts, Music with Miss Maria, and PAWS for Reading, plus a STEAM Program on a handful of dates. Most of it lands on weekdays, so it fits preschool schedules better than school-age ones.

We haven't confirmed the parking setup or what the children's area looks like, so treat those as unknowns until you're standing there. The hours are the thing to plan around: Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, with Saturday open only on the last Saturday of the month, 10am to 1pm, and Sunday closed. Check the calendar before you drive out — some programs may need sign-up.

Who It's Best For

The recurring programs — story time, craft time, music — skew toward babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. The STEAM Program and PAWS for Reading widen it a little for early readers. We haven't confirmed what the children's area itself holds.

Pro Tips

  • Saturdays are the trap — the branch opens only on the last Saturday of the month, 10am to 1pm.
  • The STEAM Program runs on only a few dates, so check the calendar rather than assuming it's weekly.
  • Some programs may need sign-up; confirm on the library's page before you count on a seat.

When to Go

Best Time to Visit

Weekdays 10am–6pm. Saturday is open only on the last Saturday of the month, 10am–1pm, and Sunday is closed — so a weekday visit is the safe bet.

Seasonal Notes

Mon–Fri 10am–6pm; Saturday only on the last Saturday of the month, 10am–1pm; Sunday closed. Check the library's calendar before you go — some programs may need sign-up.

Rainy Day?
