IMPORTANT SCHEDULE UPDATE for Storytime in the Plaza

To accommodate this month’s schedule and, of course, not interrupt the Friendship Festival Parade on September 19 (because who doesn’t love catching candy?!), we’ll be switching up our Storytime in the Plaza weekends this month!

Our next Storytime in the Plaza will be September 12, with our final September Storytime happening on September 26.
We’ll see you in the Plaza for some stories, fun, and plenty of smiles
