Join Amesbury Public Library for an interactive storytime outdoors with stories, songs, actions, and fun! We'll end with stations around for kids and adults to explore. Storytimes are great ways to build literacy skills and create learning experiences as well as a great social event. Younger siblings are welcome, but please bring children who are in our age range for this program.
We invite children with their grown-ups to join our friends from the Amesbury Public Library each month for stories inspired by farming and the season's harvest! This program will be held on the main lawn near the chickens. In the event of rain, story time will be under the picnic tent.
