Registration is required, as we will be maintaining social distancing. Each storytime will be 20-25 minutes long with time in-between for attendees to wipe down their seating area with disinfecting wipes. Unvaccinated individuals ages two and up should wear masks at outdoor programs.

Only registered families will be able to attend. Please register as one adult in your family. A family unit of up to four people can attend with your registration. Each family will sit together and remain within its designated area for the duration of the program. Hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes will be on-hand.

Storytime for Ages 2-6 (Virtual)
