This week’s Storytime celebrated beloved children’s book illustrator Floyd Cooper with the reading of “Where’s Rodney?”
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is also celebrating Floyd Cooper Day:
We have these amazingly illustrated books in our children’s library, so come check them out!
Storytime is back at the Library, every Wednesday at 11:00 am. We welcome back our youngest patrons to this beloved event. It’s a fun hour of reading and activities with interesting themes on a variety of topics.
Upcoming sessions include: growing seeds, marine science and more! Bring the littles down to the Children’s Section of the Library for this fun event!

The Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free, high-quality books to children every month from birth to age five in participating communities. Through this program, every child under the age of five in in our community is qualified to receive a book by mail, at no cost to their families, every month until their fifth birthday. The first book a child receives is “The Little Engine That Could”. The month a child turns five years old they will receive “Look Out Kindergarten, Here I Come!”.
