Learn more about the world around you with a story and related craft or activity. The books and projects in this program are geared towards pre-schoolers and their caregivers. Planned activities will sometimes take less than an hour--we encourage folks to play, visit, or enjoy the storytime room when we wrap up our activity early.

We meet weekly on Wednesdays at 10AM in the storytime room.
