After 25 years of service to the community, our long time children’s services librarian, Michele Schumann, will be retiring and leaving the library on October 4th. We will hold a special family storytelling event on the evening of:
September 30th, from 7-8 p.m.
Everyone in the community is invited to attend to hear Michele tell stories and to wish her farewell. This event is for all ages. Former story time attendees are specially invited to participate. Refreshments will be served.
Story times for children ages 3-5. Adults must accompany their children. Story times are free, do not require a library card, and are generally drop-in attendance (no registration).
Please note, Story Time themes change weekly. Classes during the same week will feature the same stories, songs, and activities on Tuesday and Wednesday.

This free, self-paced program helps adults read to their children, ages 5 and younger. The goal is to finish 1,000 books before a child begins Kindergarten. Kids get prizes from the library for every milestone.
If you read just 1 book a day, that would be 365 books the first year, 730 books by the second year and 1,095 books by the end of the third year!
You may re-read books, you can begin any time, and you may read more than one book per day. Any time your child hears a book read aloud can be counted: story time at the library, listening to a sibling read, a baby-sitter, grandparents...anyone!
