Story Time Too with Lee Dabney
The Children’s Library is proud to introduce a new offering: Story Time Too.
This is an afternoon story time for school age children. Lee Dabney is our story time host. Themes will be the same or similar to our Monday storytimes but trend a little older towards our young patrons who might be in school during the day. Come enjoy!
Story Time Too will be held on Wednesdays at 3:30 pm.
