In addition, parents may register pre-school children for storytimes. A storytime for two-year-olds entitled "A Bear-y Nice Place" will be held on Wednesdays, 9:30-10:30am, beginning March 18th. The three-to-five year olds will meet on Fridays from 9:30-10am. This session, entitled "Spring Fling" will anticipate the upcoming season and will begin March 20th. Children's librarian Sharon Adams has developed each

Parents of older children are encouraged to visit with the library staff about the 1992 Summer Reading Program, READ/DISCOVER, which will begin shortly after school is over for the year.
