2012 Summer Camp Registration Begins

Saturday, February 4th | 9 a.m.

There are too many details to list here.  Check our website for more detailed information.  Please note that several of our camps filled up the first day -- some within the first two hours -- last year. We’ll see all you camp fanatics bright and early on Saturday!

Valentine's Day Storytime

Saturday, February 4th | 11 a.m.

Our regular Tuesday morning storytime falls on Valentine’s Day this year, so we’ll read some of our favorite stories about love (specifically the shorter ones, since we know the age of this crowd!) and we’ll color some Valentine’s cards as well. Since it’s a special day, we’ll also serve some red and pink snacks and juice.

Love Storytime

Thursday, February 9th | 7 p.m.

Love is in the air this month and so we’re having a special storytime where we’ll be reading Valentine’s Day books and our favorite picture books about love. We’ll also be making valentines!

Fancy Storytime!!!

Sunday, February 12th | 3 p.m.

Oooh la la, everyone! It’s Miss Krista’s favorite storytime of the year! Put on your best attire (that’s a fancy word for clothes) and sport your most sparkly accessories (that’s a fancy word for things like earrings, tiaras, feather boas, top hats, and gloves) and come out for our 5th Annual Fancy Storytime! We will read our favorite fancy stories, learn how to bow and curtsy, speak French, and sip sparkling juice and nibble on petit fours. It’s always a marvellous afternoon!

Grimm Storytime
