- • 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.
