LISTENING FAIRY: This is a chance for the littles at home to have a story time geared just for them. Preschool to age 6 will enjoying a virtual story event with a librarian from the Youth Department. This is a recurring event every Tuesday at 10:30 AM. Enjoy a story, perhaps a craft, perhaps a song or fingerplay. This tends to be a small group so it is a nice chance for children to get to know one another and a librarian in a more intimate setting.  Please register to receive the Zoom link.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE CLUB: This is not your average story time. This is a story time where YOU get to decide what happens!

Jump on Zoom to listen to a librarian read a Choose Your Own Adventure book, and when we're faced with a choice, the brave kiddos listening will be the ones to choose! If the group cannot decide, we'll roll some dice to discover which way we're heading. This is guaranteed to be the most exciting story time ever!

New adventures are continuing on Mondays at 5 PM. Register grades 1-5 so you can receive the link to participate.
