Story Time
This is an opportunity for parents and their little ones to come together for stories, songs, and pre-literacy activities with time afterward for socializing and play. For now this will only be happening at 11 AM on the second Friday of the month but I am always open to adding more programs if there are people who want them. Stop in and discuss it with me!

Why Reading with Children Matters...
"Reading regularly with a caregiver improves young children's language development, early reading achievement, and school readiness. When adults read with young children and engage them in rich conversations, children develop larger vocabularies, learn to read more easily, and grow stronger emotionally."
