Posted by ehaigh on

After a summer full of programming, from petting snakes to throwing water balloons, Friday Storytime and Movers & Shakers are taking an August break.

It’s time for Miss Elizabeth to scour the shelves for fun and funky books and do some brainstorming on fun crafts and experiments (suggestions and requests are always welcome!). And Miss Suzanne will be collecting classic songs, rhymes, scarves, puppets, and more for Movers & Shakers.

Storytime (10AM, ages 3-6) will resume Friday, September 9th.

Movers & Shakers (10AM, infants and toddlers) will resume Monday, September 12th.

Please stay tuned for bilingual programs and a monthly afternoon storytime for elementary students and their families!
