Just a reminder that all Storytimes will be on hiatus from May 1-June 1 as we take time to prepare for another exciting Summer Reading Program but..... In the UK it's National Share-a-Story Month. We like this idea so much we're going to borrow it! If you come into the library and read a story with your kids, we'll take a picture of you reading and enter you into a drawing for a story time kit. Or, you can tag us in a facebook picture of your family reading together and we'll enter you into the drawing. Let's get ready for summer reading with lots of shared stories! |
