Storytimes

While the Antarctic winds may never howl through Altamont, that doesn’t mean we can’t share in the current penguin craze. Come to Storytime on Wednesday or Thursday and celebrate this popular polar bird. We’ll read stories likeThe Emporer Penguin’s New Clothers and Penguin Pete, Ahoy!, do a penguin shuffle and create a craft to match our dinner-jacketed friend’s elegance. Wednesday, 2-4 year olds 10:15-10:45. Thursday, 3-5 year olds 10:00-10:45. Drop-ins welcome.

Read to a Dog.

Come on in and read to Jane, the Portuguese Water Dog who loves to listen to stories. Jane is back at the Library Wednesday afternoons from 3-4. Reading to Jane is a great way for kids to gain confidence in their reading abilities while having fun. Call 861-7239 to sign up for a 15-minute time slot or just drop in.
