Story Hour to start Monday at library

By Sandy Morris

The Albany Study Club sponsored summer reading program at the Shackelford County Library will return this summer after being cancelled last year due to COVID concerns.

According to organizer Janna Ledbetter, the annual story hour will kick off on Monday, June 7. 

“Story hour will be held every Monday during the month of June from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.,” said Ledbetter. “We plan for each week’s story to have a western theme.”

In addition to hearing a story, children will also have the opportunity to play games and make crafts related to each week’s title.

The program is designed to give children access to reading material during the summer and familiarize them with the local library.

Story hour is open to two to four year-olds up to fourth graders.

“Pre-k children must be accompanied by an adult during the hour,” Ledbetter said. “Older children may be dropped off, but must be picked up promptly at 11:00 a.m.”
