Did You Know? Part II

Did you know that the North Liberty Library offers two pre-school story times each week?

Both pre-school story times are on Wednesdays: one at 10am and the other at 7pm. The 10am story time is held in Room A of the rec center, and the 7pm story time is held in the library. Both offer stories and crafts.

No registration is required. And, the more the merrier! Please come and share the fun!
