Read Me a Story is a traditional library storytime in the shade of the Lapel Branch greenspace.

Read Me a Story is a less noisy program with individual play, so it has a TURTLE sensory and activity level: low noise with focused, calm activity.

This program emphasizes the early literacy activities of READ, PLAY, SING, TALK, and WRITE which are essential habits for getting ready to read, as determined by the American Library Association's Every Child Ready to Read program.

Autumn is here, Halloween is on the way, and we're getting into spooky season! Come enjoy a slice of "the dark side" with Edgar Allan Poe, as played by Patrick Kalahar.
