Baby
Story Time
Baby Story Time is
a twenty minute story time for babies and their grown-up one on one.

There will be one
session of Baby Story Time, at the Lewistown branch, beginning on: Thursday, Sept,. 30, 2010 @ 11 a.m. and running
for six weeks.
Registration is required. First
day to sign up is Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2010.

A
Few Things about
Junior
Book Group
We
will not allow anyone younger than 9 to join Junior Book Group. The main
reason is our library policy states “Children the age of eight (8) and
under are not permitted in the library without a parent/custodian who is
sixteen (16) years of age or older.”
Parents are not required to stay while Junior Book Group is in
session.
Junior
Book Group is only cancelled if school has been cancelled for the day or
the library is closed due to bad weather. If you are unsure, please
call the library.
You
are responsible to call or email the library and let us know if you can't
make it to a meeting. Missing two meetings in a row and failing to
call will result in loss of your spot in the group. You spot will be
given to the first person on the waiting list and your name will have to
be put back on the waiting list. Extenuating circumstances, such as
a sudden illness, will be taken into consideration.
To
register, or to let us know you can't attend a meeting, call
