Storytime

Humpty Dumpty was one, a certain lobbying board would lead us to believe that they are both incredible and edible, and we have them here at the Library. You can boil, scramble, fry, poach and bake them. Eggs will be the subject of our next story time. We’ll read Horton Hatches an egg and Max’s Breakfast and Too Many Chickens, and make an eggceptional craft. Join us Wednesday at 10:15 for 2 and 3 year olds and Thursday at 10 for 4 and 5 year olds.

The Library has always been a breeding ground for ideas but now we are also incubating baby chicks. The eggs were set May 21^st and will hatch Monday June 11^th.
