Join us as we celebrate 40 years of library services! In honor of this milestone, we’ll be hosting a special “Celebrating Libraries” themed Story Time.

Story Time is a fun-filled and interactive program with activities such as storytelling, rhymes, dance, singing, sign language, and more. These activities engage infants through 5-year-olds in the pre-reading skill building activities of reading, talking, singing, writing, and playing. This is a great opportunity for your little ones to read, laugh, sing, and get to know some other kids from around the community.
