Bring the whole family to the library for a night of discovery.

Visit us on Monday, February 8th and participate in Snapshot-One day in the life of Illinois Libraries.

Registrations are being taken for Story Hour at the Morton Public Library.

4 & 5 year olds will meet for six sessions from 10:30-11:00 a.m. every Tuesday, February 2 through March 9.

The sessions will include stories, finger-plays, games, songs, and tons of 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.

Story Hours are limited to 20 children in each age group, and sign-up is required. Once your child is registered, they are registered for all six sessions. To register, visit the Morton Public Library, 315 W. Pershing or call 263-2200.
