Dear patrons,

You may notice that some things have been moved around. Please excuse our setup while we make way for a brand new early literacy center in the library! 

FAQ: What is an early literacy center?

Because of the construction of a brand new Early Literacy Center in the library, Story Time and Story Hour are going to undergo some major changes for the semester until the build is complete. We will be combining toddler story time with story hour to create a unique and fun family experience where caregivers are involved in each event.
