Stay up late and wear your jammies to come by the library for a very special holiday story! This year, Ms. Julie will be reading Dr. Seuss’s classic “The Grinch”, with plenty of homemade cookies and holiday apple cider to share!
This program is open to all ages as a community event.
It’s that time once again to join BML for our very special annual tea party storytime! Held once a year, get dressed up in your favorite special outfit and join Ms. Julie and Ms. Robin for stories all about tea parties. Afterwards, get your fancy jewelry and enjoy tea and butter cookies at the library!
The tea party, story, and events are identical on each day, so don’t worry about missing out: pick the date that works best for you!
