Greetings from Miss Lisa:
"I am so excited to begin Story Hour here at the library! Each Story Hour will feature a specific theme, including books, fun learning games, and a small related craft. My goal is to encourage and promote a life long love of reading to Story Hour participants. I also plan to involve students in learning activities such as counting, colors, letter recognition, and other skills necessary to transition them into school. Our first Story Hour will feature "Silly Socks"! On January 26th, everyone attending Story Hour should wear their silliest socks to the library. I am looking forward to meeting everyone!"
