Storytime with Sssnakes
Amelia County 4-H Agent L.K. Mondrey will bring a snake or two for kids to see, ask questions about, and potentially touch. We will read a snake story book recommended for children 1-6, and then the kids will be able to interact with the snakes. If the adults are frightened by snakes, please let us know and you may be able to leave the room for the interaction part.

Storytime: Sidewalk Chalk
Join us for weekly storytime! A librarian will read a picture book recommended for ages 1-6. Then you will be invited to help us decorate the sidewalks surrounding the library. Make chalk art for all to see! It’s going to be a hot one, so I’ll bring ice pops 🙂
