Merry Christmas, everyone! Join us as Kayla reads a passage from a holiday classic: A Christmas Carol. We're closed today, but we'll see you when we reopen on Monday.

It's time for this week's #BookRiddle! Can you name the title that this stack is hinting at?

Join Ms. Renee for tonight's Bedtime Stories! This program was made possible in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services as administered by the Missouri State Library.

Merry Christmas from us to you! We hope you and yours have a safe and happy holiday, and we'll reopen on Monday at 9:00 AM.

Join Cathy as she demonstrates this month's Take & Make craft, then come and pick up a free kit to try it out yourself! (While supplies last; first come, first served.) Scandinavian (or Danish) woven hearts are a traditional winter craft. While we don’t know their exact origins, the oldest example we have was made by author Hans Christian Anderson in 1860. They’re often filled with candy or cookies and hung as decorations. For this month’s adult take and make we’ll be making our own with colorful paper. Each kit contains instructions for both simple and more complex versions.

Join Ms. Renee this morning for Toddler Time, with lots of stories, songs, rhymes, and FUN! Register to reserve a free storytime kit that includes a shaky egg, scarf, and book: https://bit.ly/2KY05Fz Storytimes and early literacy programs at the library are supported by an Institute of Museum and Library Services grant administered by the Missouri State Library.
