FAMILY STORY TIME
Mondays 10:30 AM | No age limit.
Story time is back! We will meet outside on the library lawn. Together, we will enjoy stories, songs, movement, and occasionally craft activities. If you have not been vaccinated, masks are highly suggested plus physical distancing, and families can bring their own picnic blanket or beach chairs, which can be spaced 6 feet apart. Water bottles and sippy cups are recommended to help keep cool outside. We will continue outdoor story times every Monday morning at 10:30 a.m., and in the event of rain, we will meet indoors.
