Did you miss our Jumping Storytime this week? Don't worry, here's what you missed, plus a few more suggestions to have a hopping storytime at home!

 

From Storytime

High-speed hoppers by Kelly Calhoun

Monster Mash Masquerade

Princess and Pirate Dancing

Families with young children can get dressed in their most comfortable costumes and boogie over to our open dance party. Our littlest patrons can dance with their grownups to some great spooky tunes. After we've danced the monsters away, be ready for a costume parade through the library!

Designed for new walkers up to 5 years old, dancing is a great way to have fun together and build gross motor skills. All attendees are encouraged to wear costumes, dance, and have a great time.

No registration required. Please choose only one time to attend.

Celebrate National Dance Day

Join us to celebrate National Dance Day on the last Saturday in July. To promote dance as a great way to have fun and be healthy, we'll learn a beginner dance routine. As part of the national celebration, we'll create and share a video of our group dancing. 

Visit the Dizzy Feet Foundation Events page to watch the routines. No dance experience is necessary, please just wear comfortable clothes and bring your enthusiasm.

Dancers of all ages welcome: recommended for ages 8 and up. No registration required.
