It was so lovely having @storiedforest for storytime yesterday that we're doing it all over again next month with The Pearl Caper!

A classic who-done-it with the fun of Clue, old-time charm of Agatha Christie novels, and zany and lovable characters, this cozy mystery will keep young readers up to age 9(ish) guessing until the mystery is solved.

And if you missed her yesterday, we have signed copies of Sheba the Alley Cat, Monster's Day at School, and Night Owl and Early Bird available online and at the Shoppe! by @storiedforest

Join us on Saturday November 14th at 11am for a special storytime with author Lauren Fornoles as she reads her book NIGHT OWL AND EARLY BIRD! As always, storytime is free to attend and kids of all ages are welcome!
