Come to Virtual Storytime!
Join Amber McNair, HPL's Youth Services Librarian, for Virtual Storytime.
She uses the online communication platform Zoom so everyone can see, laugh, and chat with on another.
Virtual Storytime is a time where we read picture books and sing songs. There are rhymes to say, too! We play bounces, finger plays, and do the scarf song. Sometimes there's jumping. Sometimes there's actions to do along with the songs. Have your shakers and scarves ready!
Let's read together (virtually)! Perfect for children ages 0-6 and their parents/caregivers.
Thursdays | 11:00 - 11:30 AM
