Young Critics is an ongoing book discussion group for kids in grades 4 and 5. We meet every month from October to May at the library for great books, great conversation and a pizza dinner! Registration is required.

This month we will look at the history/genealogy of a long-time Topsham family, the Givens. Originally called and spelled as the Giveens, the family first settled in Maine nearly 300 years ago. Our presenter is descendent Steve Edmondson, who has been tracing his family roots as they intertwined over the generations with a few other long-tim Topsham families.

At each themed Storytime we sing songs, dance, and play instruments to a guitar accompaniment, participate in action rhymes, and of course, read stories! Storytime lasts approximately 45 - 60 minutes and is for preschool children ages 3-5. Often followed by an art project!
