Homeschool And Storytime Break For Holidays

Storytime and the homeschool program wrap up for the holidays at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 19. School-aged children will do cardboard engineering during the homeschool program, while toddlers and preschoolers will learn more about the alphabet, enjoy stories and take part in other activities.

The children’s department will take a programming break in December, but children are encouraged to check out the new interactive display while getting materials. The winner for November’s guessing game display will be announced after Thanksgiving.

Storytime and the homeschool program will return at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Jan. 14. There will also be a Wednesday storytime, starting Jan. 12.
