Family Summer Story Time
Summer Story Time is scheduled for Fridays, June 8 through July 13 at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m.
Our first storyteller is Maureen Haab. She has worked at the library since December 1999 and usually can be found working in the adult department cataloging new materials. Being a guest storyteller gives her the opportunity to share children’s stories with our youngest patrons.
Her theme is “Story Time Rocks!” Everyone attending will enjoy listening to several books, making a craft and sharing a snack.
Our second guest storyteller is Kaitlyn Arford. Arford is a part-time clerk and has worked at the library since May 2013. Arford works the circulation desks in children’s and adult departments, maintains our Facebook page and does other publicity for the library. Her theme is “Let’s Dance!”
A family can earn up to six free books just by attending each of the summer story times. Register at the children’s circulation desk today.
