went to the cupboard
to get her poor doggie a one,

so the poor little doggie had none.

Wiggles and Giggles all over the library! Lapsit Story time (1-2 year olds)

It's freezing outside, so what better way to cure the winter baby blues than with a bright and interactive song and dance-filled story time. Welcome to Wiggles and Giggles story time (Mondays at 10 am), where story time and play time are combined. We'll shake our wiggles out, sing, tell flannel board stories, read a book or two and have loads of fun. We use items such as egg shakers, streamers or bubbles to bring our story time to life. Bring your doll or teddy bear along so they can enjoy this story time too!

This week's story time topic is dogs. We will bring the story time alive by reading one or two of these books: Maggie's Ball by Lindsay Barrett George,

Spot at Home by Eric Hill or Please Take Me for a Walk by Susan Gal.

Here's our opening story time song! It really gets everybody revved up for a super story time!

Hi, Hello and How are You? (Tune: Marry Had a Little Lamb)

Hi, hello and how are you? How are you? How are you?

Hi, hello and how are you? How are you today?

Please register by calling us at 630-368-7700.
