Summer Story Hour 2009

"Be Creative @ Your Library" is the theme for this summer's library program for children. The program is open to young people beginning with 3 and 4 year-olds. Using an arts theme gives us the opportunity to have a variety of great programs for our participants. Storytimes, activities, and movies are planned. Separate programs will be offered for 3 and 4 year-olds, Preschool/Kindergarten, Grades 1 & 2, and Grades 3 & 4. A reading challenge for Grades 5, 6, 7, 8, will run simultaneously. This six-week program begins on Wednesday June 10 and runs through July 15. If possible, please pre-register by calling the library at 419-533-5721. All programs are free of charge. For the complete schedule check our What's Happening! page.
