Libri Foundation Presentation
We had an enthusiastic group today at story time, and the kids helped us model our new Libri Foundation books. Come by and check them out any time; they are gorgeous books for kids from beginning to middle grade readers. See the full list of books in the previous post.
Also, don’t forget we have story time every Wednesday at 10:30, with giveaways and treats almost every week. You can always check the calendar on the left sidebar of the website. See you there!
