Lots to do at the Montvale Library!!!!!

What’s coming up in February and March at the Montvale Library Children’s Department!

Registration for Winter Story hour is over and most of our story hours are full.
Some story hours have waiting lists so if you have signed up and will not be
attending please call so someone can take your spot.  Also, if you are going to
bring a friend to story hour, please let us know so we can have sufficient materials
for craft.  If you have any concern that the library maybe closed because of
weather, please call before making the trip over here.  We will be extending story
hour for one week because of all the snow cancellations.  From Monday – Thursday we
will now be closing at 9pm.
And please, please show your support for the library by checking out books when you
come to story hour!
