You Can Do That @ the LibraryYou Can Do That @ the Library?!

Share Your Story

Join a community project, "We Have Stories To Tell" which unites children with family members, senior citizens and library staff to encourage the development of literacy skills through story telling. Children have the opportunity to make their own books in which they portray the story they are telling with illustrations of their own design.


See our Calendar, Online Catalog or Branch pages for more details and contact information.
