Parents and caregivers may pick up tickets to the following week's program after they drop off their child at the program. Due to overcrowding, no strollers are permitted in the meeting room or hallway during the program.

New storytimes!

This year there are a couple of changes in children's program times.
  • Preschool Storytime, for children ages 3-5, now meets Tuesdays at 11:00AM.
  • Baby Funtime, for babies up to 24 months, now meets the first and third Wednesdays at 11:30AM.

Although the times have changed, Preschool Storytime and Baby Funtime are still the same wonderful programs of songs, stories, and crafts that so many parents and children enjoy. Other HCML libraries have also changed Storytime dates and times, so check our online calendar for a complete listing.
