“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”
How our library is used in the community for children…
Our local schools come in for story time with Ms. Laurie
We have a homeschool group that comes in each month for a story and an activity
The Head Start children come in to hear a story and do a craft with Ms. Laurie
We also have an Adult Mental Health group that comes to experience the library
Ms. Laurie has multiple story times each month for preschool age and elementary age children
