Kids can find a surprise at the Library! Hidden beneath the shelves of books is little mouse hole with five friendly mice. This mouse hole was built in 1986 by Alyce Fitzgerald. The mice are inspired by the book Anatole by Eve Titus. |
Early Literacy
It is never too early to share stories with children. Starting at birth read, write, play, talk, and sing with a child every day. At the library, you can also participate in 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Reading Challenge via Beanstack, check out a Book Bundle to bring storytime home, and attend storytimes in-person to help your children discover a love of reading.
