You're invited to attend Story Time every Tuesday at 11 am. 

Story Time is a great way for children to build early literacy skills with stories, rhymes and songs. Parents and guardians are encouraged to participate by sitting with children and singing (and learning!) new songs. 

Last half hour is craft time!  Children of all ages are welcome.

We cannot host daycares or groups.
