Tuesday Story Times at the Community Center

A reader sent us rave reviews of this little munchkin storytime she took her son to at the Community Center, led by Dena, Coordinator at the Center.

Dena reads a few books, has a variety of great crafts and takes the kids out on a short walk in the park.

All for $2.

Here is the Tuesday line-up that Dena sent us:
