We all love stories! Short, long, funny, sad. Stories are meant to be shared, so we invite your family to spend an hour at the library on every third Friday of the month listening to a story unfold. There will be drawing materials and a “tinker” table for listeners that need to keep busy, but the main event is a selection of favorite short stories being read by book-loving librarians.
