During vacation weeks, we may host a movie day or other story related event.  We will show a children's movie, and have popcorn and drinks, or have a guest do a performance and read a story.  If children have a library card, they are encouraged to check out a book.  Parents must be present for children to obtain a library card.  See library policies for more information.
