Preschool Story Time

Story times are a wonderful way to prepare preschoolers for kindergarten. Children are encouraged to sit quietly, listen to exciting stories, and sing and dance to favorite songs. Each session will end with a simple craft activity. Storytimes will be held on Thursdays at 12:30 p.m. Reservations are recommended but not required.

Food for Thought

Beginning Saturday, October 14th, 2006 children ages 4 – 12 years old are invited to participate in the In ‘N Out Burger Food for Thought Reading Program. Participants need to pick up a reading log at the public library and read 5 books or have 5 books read to them. They will then visit the children’s department at the public library to receive an achievement award certificate, which is good for one hamburger or cheeseburger at In ‘N Out.
