Happy National Library Week! In addition to our wonderful librarians, we also have some phenomenal volunteers, including the absolutely incredible, lovable and talented Miss Desiree!

Miss Desiree creates weekly fun for the kids with songs, stories, crafts and movement. When in person programming became impossible, Miss Desiree quickly switched gears doing online stories and putting together take home craft kits for kids to enjoy. We are very grateful to Miss Desiree for all that she has done and all she continues to do! Join her now for some Storytime FUN!

Current StoryTime videos and crafts are on our Storytime Page>
