OPLIN (Ohio Public Library Information Network is asking our patrons to take this short survey.  Public libraries have difficulty naming databases and digital media on their websites to make these resources easily accessible. One library may call these resources one name and another library may use another.  OPLIN wants to hear from our patrons, and would greatly appreciate you completing this short survey.  It will be available until June 30, 2021.   https://oplin.ohio.gov/survey

For the little ones who attend storytime programs, we have Storytime kits available.   Each kit contains a shaker egg, a storytime scarf, a bean bag, wrist bells, bubbles, and rhythm sticks.  With this kit, children can participate in virtual programs at home, and at in-person events, they will have their own supplies and will not need to share.

A Virtual Library is available below with stories read by Miss Noreen as well as songs and rhymes using items found in the kits.
