The theme for next storytime is "Winter." The weather outside is frightful, but it is delightful in the library! Since we've no place to go, let it snow outside, and we'll read warm cozy stories in the library. Storytime is Tuesday morning at 10 a.m.

The story currently playing on the library's Dial-a-Story is "The Cat and the Parrot." On Friday the story changes to "The Piglet Brother." Call Dial-a-Story at 967-3814.
