Story Times will air at 9:30 a.m. Mondays and Bilingual Story Times will air at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesdays. In compliance with publisher permissions, these videos will not be archived on Facebook following the live event .
On Tuesday, the library will start hosting story break on Facebook. These videos will feature a storyteller reading some of their favorite tales with the videos available on the library's Facebook page for one week. Story break videos will be posted at 7 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday.
Two of the libraries popular activities, trivia night and escape rooms, are going to be offered virtually in July.
