Sept. 29 – Fall Story Time Begins (Virtual)
The leaves are beginning to change and that signals fall is on it’s way. Meet us on ZOOM Wednesday, September 29 at 10:30 am for our first story time session of the season. We’re kicking off fall story time with the theme “Colors of Fall.” Wear your favorite fall color and join Miss Trisha as she reads stories filled with fall colors. We’ll also make a fall related craft, and have a snack together. Story time is a free program for children ages 3-6. Sign up at the children’s circulation desk today to receive the ZOOM link. Pick up make-and-take craft packets for this story time at the children’s circulation desk starting Monday, September 20. No library card needed.
