Story Time Sessions will continue through June.
Wiggle Worms Story Time is perfect for ages 0 to 3 and their caregivers. Join us every Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m. Enjoy stories, music, dancing, rhythm activities, and fingerplay, as little ones learn to love reading with people they love. (25 to 30 mins.)
Preschool Story Time sets the stage for Kindergarten with books, flannelboard stories, fingerplay, and music geared to children ages 3-6, and caregivers. We will meet every Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m. for fun and learning. Please join us and get a jump on early education. (30 mins.)
