Our early literacy program Music and Movement will be held indoors today (9/22) in the Community Room. Because there will be limited space, we will be holding two sessions, one at 10am and the other at 11am.

Both sessions of today's (Sept. 13) Baby Bounce & Books on the Green have been cancelled due to rainy conditions. There is no indoor rain location for today's programs, but future sessions will move to the Community Room with limited capacity in the event of inclement weather.
