If it is 50 degrees or warmer, this program will be held outside on the library lawn, so bring a blanket or chair. Look for us around back! If it is rainy or less than 50 degrees, the story time will be moved indoors.
Tuesdays at 10:00 am
Here’s a chance for the little ones to learn their A-B-C’s. We’ll start with stories and songs that feature our letter of the week. Then we’ll do some simple crafts with the special letter – tracing, stamping, cutting, gluing, and coloring. Each child can bring something with them that starts with the letter of the week – we’ll do a mini show & tell along with stories.If it is 50 degrees or warmer, we’ll do the stories & songs outside on the library lawn, so bring a blanket or chair.
