Reading Together

Miss Becca’s Storytime Mixer
I’ve been waiting for a few books to come in that I’ve inter-library loaned specifically for storytime, so I decided this week would be a good time to have another storytime mixer. A storytime mixer is when I read some of my favorite books and also a few brand new books that I think the […]

On The Road Storytime
Hello Sunday Storytime readers! Yesterday’s storytime theme is a tried and true favorite… Cars, Buses, Trucks, and all things that go on the road! I have to admit… I was completely uninspired for this weekend’s storytime. But when that happens, I’m so very lucky to have my “storytime gurus”, a couple co-workers who have been […]
