Important "Storytime" Announcement
"Storytime" has been designed to foster a love of reading in your children. With this mandate in mind, participation in Story time for ages 3 to 5 will be restricted to the participants only. The children will be under the supervision of a staff member during this period.
This restriction is meant to help develop your children's independence and allow the children to fully participate in this activity without distractions.
"Storytime" begins promptly at the scheduled time and late entry is not encouraged, as this disrupts the class in progress.
Parents and siblings are kindly reminded to wait in the library. Please feel free to gather in the Children's Area to visit. Thank You!
*All Pre-School Programs are FREE!
If you find yourself unable to attend registered classes, please let the instructor know so your spot can be given to a child on the waiting list.
Storytime! (Ages 3, 4 & 5)
You are permitted to register ONLY your own family for this program. Register in person or by calling 938-2220.
We will be looking for parent volunteers to assist in the class each week. Please let us know if you would be interested in volunteering at time of registration.
