The library hosted their second preschool Story & Craft Time on Wednesday, Sept. 8, featuring the book “I Don’t Want to Take a Bath!” by Julie Sykes, followed up with snacks and a paper puppet tiger craft. We would like to thank an ACLA (Appomattox County Library Association) member for providing the juice and snack cakes. This week’s Preschool Story & Craft Time will feature the book “Grumpy Bird” by Jeremy Tankard with crafts and snacks on Wednesday, Sept. 15, starting at 11 a.m.
