School Age storytime is a fun interactive drop program for children 5-7 years old. Guardians must stay in the building and are welcome to join if they would like, but no younger siblings. Only register the 5-7 year olds.

Babouscka is a Russian tale retold by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey. Babouscka is an old woman who is visited by three kings who invite her to join them on their journey to Bethlehem. She hesitates joining the three kings. The next morning, she gathers a sack of toys to bring to the Christ child. Will she find the Child? Come and find out as Mary Baumann retells this old Russian folktale. The children will be creating their own sacks of gifts to give to others.

This program is one of the many ways Pennsylvania Public Libraries supports the PA Forward Initiative by providing civic, social, and basic literacy opportunities for learning.
