Virtual Storytime

Story Hour to Go allows families to participate in whatever way is convenient for them.

Each bag is packed with several themes. Each theme includes a list of books (which can be requested through the library system), a precut craft, flannel board or other activities, and our signature prepackaged snack! “Flannel boards” are printed on card stock for you to keep.

Each Saturday at 10am, Miss Christine hosts a zoom meeting where she reads the stories, does the flannel board or activities with the kids and guides them through the craft.

If you are interested in joining the meeting or would like a bag set aside for you, please email storyhour@westhurleylibrary.org.
