Beginning Monday, June 11, storytime for preschoolers ages 3-5 will be held at Bluffton Public Library on Mondays at 6:30 p.m. and Tuesdays at 10 a.m.
Themes this summer are based on the early literacy collaborative summer reading program, "Dream Big - Read!" Each Storytime session is approximately 35-40 minutes in length and includes stories, songs, finger plays and other related activities.
