All programs are FREE.

Register by calling 248-887-2218 (option 4) or by stopping at the Youth Ref. Desk.  If you need to cancel, please let us know!  It’s a shame when registered children don’t show up, and we’ve turned people away! 

 

For children’s programs with limited space, preference will be given to Highland residents.  Other interested folks will be placed on a waiting list the first 3 days of registration.

 

Programs begin promptly, so please arrive early as a courtesy to our program providers and to the other children in the program.  Latecomers will not be admitted once storytime has begun.
