Participants will also learn about global music and engage in hands-on crafts that stimulate their curiosity. Each week promises to be fun and enriching! The event is free and designed for children ages 5–10 and their caregivers, but all are welcome.

Storytimes take place on select Mondays throughout the fall at Pinney Library. No registration is required.
