Storytelling Events for elementary children and their parents

The Ashland Library Children's Department is offering three (yes, three!) Storytimes. They are geared for toddlers and pre-schoolers who spend about 30 minutes each week listening, laughing and learning as they interact with Children's Librarian, Perii Hauschild-Owen, and one another.

The Storytime line-up is as follows:

• Monday evenings from 6:30 - 7:00 PM. (kids are invited to wear pajamas).

  
  

• Tuesday mornings from 11:30 - 12:00 Noon.

  
  

• Wednesday mornings from 10:30 - 11:00 AM.

  
  

• Special program for babies and wobblers on Tuesdays from 10:30 - 11:00 AM.

  
  

Join us for books, songs, finger plays, flannel board activities, and more!

For further information, call the Ashland Library Children's Department at 541-774-6995.
