Children
Storytime takes place every Wednesday at 11:00am. Storytime is for children ages birth and up and their caregivers. This is a great way to foster early literacy, an early love of libraries, parent interaction, and socialization. This program is designed to focus on early literacy and incorporates music, puppetry, picture books, nursery rhymes, art, play, and language.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is available in Allegany County. If you have questions regarding the program, contact Robin Fuller at Ardent Network at 585-648-6022.
