On Thursday June 6, Fort Valley Library will begin offering a Children’s Library Hour each week on Thursdays, from 2 – 3 pm. The program will be led by library volunteers Kitty Bryant and Sada Ahlman. Kitty is a co-director of the Library who loves reading aloud wonderful children’s books. Sada is a young newcomer from Nebraska who is eager to engage children in hands-on art activities.
The library staff would like to know what kinds of activities you want us to offer your children. If you have ideas please drop by on a Thursday afternoon from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., or reach out via e-mail to fortvalley@countylib.org.
The children’s library is open to anytime the library is open – you don’t have to wait for special programs to make use of many of the children’s resources available. These include books, big floor puzzles, musical instruments, crayons, markers, origami papers, magnetic building blocks, puppets and board games.
Library hours are Monday and Thursday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and on Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
