 As sure as the temperatures dropping, the leaves changing color and the school bells ringing is the return of the Purcell Public Library’s children’s Storytime programs for the fall season.
The first Storytime of the season takes place at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Sept. 3, in the meeting room of the library, 919 N. Ninth St. Storytimes will be offered every other Friday for local children and their caregivers.
While stories are a big part of the program, much more than that is offered. There also will be finger games, simple rhymes and songs, music and craft time.
The Storytimes also will provide ideas and information for parents on promoting active reading habits for their children throughout the week.
“All learning takes place where there are positive relationships,” said Alanna Ireland, the library’s preschool librarian. “We want to reach out to our kids, to read with them and to do special things with them.”
Families will see a new face leading Storytime in Ireland, who started in August. She comes to the library with previous experience as a kindergarten teacher, director of a child care center and as a children’s librarian at the Norman Public Library.
