Double the Fun Saturday

Don’t forget that this Saturday (5/11) at 10 AM is the library’s “Flower Child” kid’s craft. Featuring a child’s photo at the center of every flower, these are sure to brighten up anyone’s day!

If you’d like to stick around after the craft, local children’s author Judi Jessick will be visiting us with her new book, “Agatha Livermore and the Magic Cookie Spoon” starting at 11 AM!

Preschool Storytime & Movement

Yesterday morning at Preschool Storytime & Movement we read a story starring a unicorn, sang our songs, and later got to color our own unicorns to take home. Preschool Storytime & Movement is held every Monday morning at 10 AM upstairs at the library and is a great way to jumpstart your little one’s literacy skills in a fun and welcoming environment!
