New Year,
New Session of Story Time!

Our next session of preschool story time begins Wednesday, January 13. During this session we’ll take a look at different animals in winter, how they live and what they do. In addition to fun stories, we’ve got crafts, songs, activities and even snacks to go along with each theme. The preschool session is designed for three- to five-year-olds who are comfortable in a story-time setting, with or without a parent or caregiver. Space is limited and registration is required, so please call the Library to sign up. Story time meets Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. and runs through February 17.

Farewell to kindergarten story timers
Monday kindergarten story time is on hold until next fall. We’ll miss the great group of kids who joined us each Monday for lunch and stories and we hope to see you at the Library soon!
