Mountains Storytime
Recently, we started to offer some storytime themes to go along with “Read Beyond the Beaten Path,” the theme of the 2022 iRead summer reading program: https://www.ireadprogram.org/ focusing on a summer camp at the library. Even if you are not using iReads materials, it is a great theme for summer stories. This month we offer stories about Mountains. For an art project, make popsicle stick snowy mountains: Popsicle Stick Snowy Mountain – Kid Craft (gluedtomycraftsblog.com).
