Story times run year-round for several multi-week sessions, depending on school vacations. 

Please note that we operate story times and programs independent of any school delays or closings. If the library is open for normal hours, we will hold story times as scheduled. If we are delayed in opening, or closed entirely, we will cancel the story times affected by the library schedule.
