Pre-School Story Hour

Storyhour ended with a "pajama party" for the children, complete with bedtime story, snack, craft and video.  We had lots of fun this year, and it was sad to see it end.  One of our "regulars" commented that it was the "best party ever!"  What a wonderful feeling to help put a smile on a child's face with a book and other fun activities!  If you know a child who will be between the ages of three and six, please register him or her for storytime this fall!
