Virtual Preschool
Story Time
Everyone loves dinosaurs! Enjoy a theme-based, multi-age virtual storytime with an emphasis on early literacy. Mrs. Brown and Miss Lisa will video record a short storytime with an accompanying art activity.
The video link will be posted on the library's website, all of the library's social media platforms, and on the library's YouTube channel. Families of preschoolers can pick up a Take-and-Make Bag at the library each week. The bag will include the story-time thematic art activity of the week and other fun items to do at home. Each week’s bags will be at the library from Tuesday to Saturday of that week.
