Zoom Storytime!
It’s storytime, online! Join your children’s librarians virtually for fun & learning as we read stories, sing and dance together, and play games each Tuesday and Thursday at 10 a.m. and each Wednesday at 2:30 p.m., September 14 to December 9. Zoom Storytime is designed with ages 2-6 in mind, but kids of all ages (and their grownup caregivers) are welcome! Register once with your email address to receive a Zoom link each Monday morning for the week’s storytimes.
