* Sherwood Branch Information and Hours  
 
The Hamilton Public Library offers storytime programs for children from birth to 5 years of age that combine stories, songs, fingerplays and action rhymes all designed to promote reading readiness. Storytime provides an environment for discovering the pleasures of reading and learning and help many children with the development of their socialization skills as it is often their first group experience outside of the home. It is also a great opportunity for parents to meet other parents! Some programs are drop-in and others require registration.
