Rock County Community Library’s popular children’s program will go on the road this month for two weeks of “Traveling Story Time.”
Children’s librarian Bronwyn Wenzel will travel to Hardwick, Hills, Beaver Creek, Kanaranzi, Kenneth, Magnolia and Steen, reading books, singing songs and telling stories.
“I want to make sure children who don’t live in Luverne get a chance to go to Story Time, too,” Wenzel said. “I hope to encourage more kids to visit the library with all the activities we have going on this summer.”
Traveling Story Time will also take place for two weeks in July.
Wenzel will meet at the park shelter in each of the communities’ parks. In Kenneth, Wenzel will read in the gazebo.
The first three days of Traveling Story Time take place next Monday-Wednesday, June 5-7.
The event kicks off Monday, June 5, in Beaver Creek, Hills and Steen. Story times last for 30 minutes.
