March Update!

It's March! What a blustery month! Perhaps it's the right time of year to read A. A. Milne's classic Winnie-the-Pooh books, in which a blustery day knocks Owl's house right over. Or maybe you want to try When Spring Comes by Kevin Henkes, since spring is on the way! (Soon. We hope.) We'll be offering a chance to decorate a pot to prepare for the growing season.

March also brings us St. Patrick's Day! Decorate all in green, have a party, dig for leprechauns... Or was that fossils? Maybe I got those mixed up. We have activities about both!

Either way, it's a fun month, and we look forward to seeing you here!
