NAPPANEE — Students in grades six through high school are invited to decorate a coffee mug with permanent markers at the next Teen Tuesday program at the library.

Story Time Returns
Babies and children from birth to age 5 are invited to meet at the library beginning in October for the return of Preschool Story Time and the Move and Do program.
Preschoolers ages 3-5 will meet 9:30-10:15 a.m. or from 10:30-11:15 a.m. Wednesdays, Oct. 7, through Nov. 11, for songs, games, crafts and more, exploring the ocean and seashore. Caregivers are asked to choose one time slot and register by Wednesday, Sept. 30.
Move and Do, Birth to Two, also returns from 10-10:30 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 8, through Nov. 12. This high energy group gives babies, through age two, and caregivers the chance to interact with each other through music, movement, stories, and hands on projects. Designed to match the shorter attention spans of the little ones, this program is lively and entertaining, not a sit still and listen kind of program. Register by Thursday, Oct. 1.
