Virtual Preschool
Story Time
Mrs. Brown and Miss Lisa will video record a short storytime with an accompanying art activity. The video link will be posted on the library's website, all of the library's social media platforms, and on the library's YouTube channel, beginning Tuesday, Sept. 15.
Families of preschoolers can pick up a TAKE & MAKE BAG at the library each week. The bag will include the storytime thematic art activity of the week. Each week's bags will be at the library from Tuesday-Saturday of that week.
Nonfiction
Book Discussion
Join us at 7 p.m., Monday Sept. 14, for a virtual discussion on “In the Garden of Beasts” by Erik Larson. A remarkable story set during Hitler’s rise to power. This is a stunning, eyewitness perspective on events as they unfold in real time, revealing an era of surprising nuance and complexity. The result is a dazzling, addictively readable work that speaks volumes about why the world did not recognize the grave threat posed by Hitler until Berlin, and Europe, were awash in blood and terror.
