Children's Programs

The Betty Warmack Branch Library holds two storytime sessions each Wednesday. Join us at 10:00 OR 10:45 a.m. for stories. Storytime runs 4 weeks with a break between sessions. There will not be a storytime May 14, 21 or 28, while we prepare for the Summer Reading Challenge. Please be on time, as we have limited space, and thank you so much for your great attendance! We regret that we might have to limit attendance at a storytime, due to safety regulations.   For more information, or to schedule a storytime for a class or daycare, call (972) 237-5770.
