“Storytime offers families early literacy skill-building, group interaction, and more through identical, themed weekly story hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10 a.m,” Valetta Cannon, youth librarian, said.

During a typical storytime, Miss Val reads two to three stories, sings and shares fingerplays with the children, and guides them through creative play, a craft project, and a snack.

Children are able to request favorite themes for future storytimes as well.

For more information and a list of upcoming themes, see the Fort Scott Public Library Facebook events page at https://www.facebook.com/pg/FortScottPublicLibrary/events or visit the library’s website at https://fortscott.mykansaslibrary.org/.

Children 2nd grade and below should remain under adult supervision at all times.

Storytime is free and no pre-registration is needed. Miss Val hopes to welcome your family soon.
