THURSDAYS IN JUNE | 3–4 P.M.

Parents and kiddos, join us Thursdays from 3–4 p.m. starting June 1 for Storytime on the Side Porch! We'll read, create, and play each week in June. This season’s theme is All Together: Countries and Cultures of the World. From the Welty House Side Porch, we'll explore Mexico, China, India, Kenya, and The World United through stories and complementary creative activities for students pre-K through fourth grade. Free and open to the public June 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Thanks again to our friends at the Mississippi Library Commission and the Jackson-Hinds Public Library system for supplying books.
