December 12, 2010 Christmastime is Here… and that means a Winter Storytime for Children Birth to 7 years!
Since school gets out a full week before Christmas this year, I felt like I should provide entertainment at the branch. After Christmas – I’m on vacation and the library is on it’s own!

January 9, 2010 Storytime on Demandate Part 2: So what’s the point?

July 8, 2008 Family Fun-Day Monday Week 1… Funny Foods. I can haz out in the open?
My very first story time that I have created… planned… and will do for longer than 15 minutes! Hooray! I was really really nervous. This is also Angus Glen’s very first “out in the open” story time ever. Good thing it went much better than expected! The kids were incredibly cute. I’ve found that small [...]
