On-Demand Storytime
with Kim Dawes
The delightfully entertaining Mrs. Dawes of Belgrade Public Library presents a story or two, followed by a demonstration of a simple craft. The stories are themed around upcoming holidays or seasonal events and changes. Bring your children to the library whenever we are open if you are interested in participating in this program. It lasts about 30 minutes and there is no charge, of course.
