Pick up your Storytime in Bag and follow along with a very online special storytime! We will have storytime kits available at the library which will have a book on the theme to check out, crafts (with all the supplies included), songs to sing, colouring sheets, and stickers. A new kit will be available every Friday, no reservations required! The accompanying video will be posted on our Facebook page and our YouTube channel.

No storytime kit? No problem! You can still enjoy the songs, rhymes, story and silliness from home by following along with the storytime.
