For 2026, our theme is “Reading is the Road to Success”, and we’ll be taking a road trip across the United States! Children will visit every state through stories and crafts with Miss Kristina! Story Hour is held on the first and third Wednesdays of the month, starting at 10:15 am.
Here’s our travel itinerary for the year, along with reading lists from previous weeks if you’d like to place holds on them and read along at home! Click on the triangles next to each week to see the reading lists.
