Polar Express Story Time

 The traditional Polar Express Story Time, complete with Old Time Radio star Don Bagley, returns this year on December 19!

Children who attend the Polar Express Story time will enjoy hot chocolate and stories.  After the stories, each child will receive a bell and a small stocking and get to choose their own book as a gift from the library.

Please note:  Due to the incredible popularity of this story time, we have changed it a little to make it better.  We now have TWO story times:  one at 4pm for ages 0-4, and another at 6pm for ages 4+.  While this age distinction is not ironclad, be aware that the stories for the younger group will be shorter and simpler.  You do not need to sign up for this program--just come on in!  Jammies are encouraged and shoes are required.

Polar Express Story Time:  Wednesday, Dec. 19
                                               4pm for ages 0-4
                                               6pm for ages 4+
