Preschool Storytime
Storytime takes place in the Matson Meeting Room (enter via the Library Café) each Tuesday at 10:30 am and includes several stories, plus songs, finger rhymes, and scarves, rhythm sticks, or shakers. We move to the Youth Services area for a craft/activity after the stories. NOTE: Storytime takes a hiatus during the month of August!
