Join us in the Children's Area of the Arkell Museum and Canajoharie Library for Storytime!

We have the scarves and the egg shakers. We have the songs and the stories. We just need you and the kiddos!
Each month we have a new theme. Each day after Storytime we will have a craft or activity for the littles to enjoy.
Storytime promotes early literacy, and helps young learners become kindergarten ready by practicing sitting, listening, reading, sharing, following directions, movement, and song with other children and adults.
All with lots of fun mixed in!

This is a weekly FREE program

Best for pre-k age kids. Families welcome! Older kids are also welcome, but might not get the most out of this program.
