Summer Storytimes - We Have TWO of Them!

That's right, the Bill will host not one, but TWO summer storytimes for your family! Summertime Story Time will take place on Tuesday mornings at 10:30 a.m. at the Library from July 5th to August 2nd. We will gather in our outdoor program area and enjoy a variety of entertaining stories under the shade of the trees in the library yard. In case of inclement weather we will meet inside the library. Can't make it on Tuesday mornings? Our special Sun, Sand, and Stories reader will be at Eastern Point Beach at 10:30 on Thursday mornings from July 7th to August 4th. Look for our big beach umbrella, and soak up the sun and a few good books this summer. Please note that a beach pass is required for entrance to the beach.

No registration is necessary for either storytime. For more information about our storytimes, check out our flyers for Summer Storytime at the Library and Sun, Sand, and Stories or call the library at (860) 445-0392.
