Now taking Registration for Preschool Fun
Call to register your toddler for our Preschool Fun Program at the Morton Public Library. There will be four sessions for 3-5 year olds from 1-1:45 p.m. every Tuesday, July 7th through July 28.
These sessions will include crafts, stories, finger-plays, games, songs, and most importantly fun. This is a great opportunity for a child to meet and interact with children their own age and gain a love of reading at an early age.
Preschool Fun is limited to 20 children. Registration is required. Once your child is registered, they are signed up for all four sessions. To register, visit the Morton Public Library, 315 W. Pershing or call 263-2200.
