The J. Joel Edwards Public Library announces its fall programs, all free and open to the public. In an effort to provide a variety of both fun and educational programs, the library is pleased to be able to offer innovative programs for patrons of all ages.
Preschool Story Time meets every Tuesday at 11:00. Children ages 3 and up are invited to join Miss Kim for stories, songs, games, and crafts.
Each Saturday of the month is dedicated to specialized programs. All of these programs begin at 1:00 and are free and open to the public. Registration is not required but can be helpful to make sure we have plenty space and supplies.
Do-It-Yourself projects have received heightened awareness with the introduction of websites such as Pinterest and Etsy. Bre Richard now offers on the first Saturday of the month a DIY class.
