Our last story time for the season was held April 23 at the library.  We read, sang, and played guessing games about wild animals.  We finished up the time by making puppets.  We had 2 lions, a zebra, and an elephant. WILD!                           

We were happy to have some older brothers and sisters join us today for story hour!  We had fun singing about spring, hearing spring-time stories, and making an adorable hatching duck (Like Little Quack).

We had a colorful day during lapsitters story time in October!  We read a story about a dog who gets different colored spots on him during his day.  We sang a song about the colors of the rainbow, and made a rainbow.

Colorful leaves, scarecrows, and all things fall!  That was the theme of our stories for story hour October 9th.  We finished our story and song time with a fall leaf craft.

Our 2nd story hour of September was about things in the sky.  We had stories about clouds, balloons, rainbows, and other things from the sky.  The children painted clouds that looked like…… all sorts of things!  Each month on the  2nd and 4th Tuesday the library has free story times for children 2 1/2 — 5.  We begin at 9:30, and usually are done by 10:30.  Please join us.  [...]
