April Library Pajama Party
Apr 29, 2021, 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Join Mrs. Herzberg for some good stories and general silliness. Presented live via Zoom Meeting, the fun begins with a brief tour of the changes that have occurred at the Library since last summer. Then snuggle down for some great books read aloud by Mrs. Herzberg. If everyone gets too wound up with all the fun, relax and calm down with some simple Yoga moves and focused breathing. Grab your favorite stuffed animal and blankie before Mrs. Herzberg wraps up with one last story, then it's off to bed for the littles.
