Lapsit & Spring Story Time

Our Spring Story Time and Lapsit programs will begin next week – the first week of April! Story Time is intended for children from three to six years of age. Story time is always a lot of fun! Each week focuses on a new subject, which is celebrated through books, crafts, and snacks. You definitely do not want to miss out! There are three available sessions: 10:15 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. Wednesdays or 7 p.m. Thursdays. Lapsit is intended for babies, from infant-36 months. Our theme this spring is Bugs! We will do some finger plays, sing some songs, and read a few short books. Lapsit is at 10:45 a.m. Tuesdays. If you have children who would like to be part of either story time or lapsit, you can call or come in and sign up at the desk in the Children’s Department.
