2024 NATIONAL MEDAL
for Museum and Library Service Finalist
Have you been missing your regular library storytimes? We all have certainly been missing seeing all of you too! Just because the library is closed doesn't mean that we can sit down together and share a few songs and a story. We will be regularly posting storytimes from our staff that your family can enjoy at home. Today's storytime is by Betsy and she is reading Old Bear by Kevin Henkes. You can see the video and all of our future storytime videos here.
