Story Time with the Open Door!

Nothing to do? Kids need a distraction? Join us on our Facebook page to hear one of the Open Door's staff members read a picture book via Facebook live! No need to leave the house!

Our first book will be the classic saga, "The Monster at the End of this Book" by Jon Stone and Micheal Smollin. Every Friday afternoon, we plan to read a different book until the schools reopen. We would be thrilled if you and your kids could join us!
