Movin’ & Groovin’
Move and groove in this unique story time, geared for ages 3-TK on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Tuesdays of the month. Experience active stories, song and dance, and play with our sensory rich toys.
Preschool Story Time
Whether your child goes to morning or afternoon preschool, they can join us for stories at the library! With a morning and afternoon session on Thursdays, preschoolers will benefit from even more exposure to literature through a variety of books, activities, and crafts!
