Homeschool Library Skills Program:

Skidompha is pleased to offer a new program designed to meet the needs of Maine homeschool families. Families with children in grades 1-12 are required to include library skills as a part of their annual curriculum; we have developed a six-part course tailored to children’s developmental needs at different levels. This program may be completed in-person or virtually. Please contact Kristi for more information or to register. 

Please note the course will include the following sessions:

• Tour of the library
• Checking materials out
• Genre
• Other available resources
• Check-in session

Each session will consist of informative and interactive portions. Children will also receive a special punchcard to keep them engaged and checking books out from the library at least ten times during the course of the school year. Upon completion of the program, participants will receive a form to submit along with their annual portfolio. 

This program is free of charge and available to all Skidompha members. Don’t have a library card yet? Signing up is simple—stop by to learn how.

Ongoing Kids Programming

We create and run a variety of thoughtfully developed programs designed to meet the needs and interests of the youth in our community.  Our librarians are kids at heart and remember what it is like to be a child! We channel this feeling into a space that is welcoming, stimulating, educational, and fun.

Please see our events calendar for upcoming programming for kids! Email us your questions, comments, and ideas – or talk to a librarian next time you visit.
