TREASURE TALES!
Starting Sept 2 at 6:30pm in the Children's Library
Treasure Tales is a series of Story Times for those children who have outgrown our toddler story hour, but still enjoy hearing great stories.

We will design a treasure box for each child and they will receive a treasure for each story they hear. At the end of the program, families will have time to check out books and each child will receive a mysterious clue to the theme of the program and the book for the next month. The series will run from September through May. This story series is appropriate for ages 5 and up and will be held on the first Thursday of every month at 6:30 in the Children's Department. We ask that you let us know if you will be attending to ensure that we have enough treasures for every child in attendance. Reserve your spot by calling the children's circulation desk at 223-4665.

We realize we have many parents who have toddlers and older children and will want to bring both, but we ask that they make arrangements to have care for their toddlers so that this can be a special time for the older children.
