Elgin Library To Begin Story Time, Activity Time For Children

The Elgin Public Library will begin story time today.

The first story time starts at 10 a.m. on Monday, June 2. It will last about 45 minutes. Story time will continue each Monday and Wednesday morning in June and the first two weeks of July. It is focused on 3 to 6 year olds. A parent, baby sitter, or older brother or sister is welcome to stay. The Way Out West 4-H Club members will read to the children.

On Thursday afternoons from 1 to 2 p.m., children who are in first grade and older are invited to an activity time. Each week from June 5-July 10 children will participate in art activities, games, plays and more.

There will also be a program for independent readers to keep track of the library books they read this summer. This is for all kids who read from first grade through high school. If they complete a designated amount of reading, their name will be entered into a state wide drawing for fifteen $529 NEST scholarships. The Nebraska Education Savings Trust (NEST)College Savings Plan is giving these scholarships in partnership with the Nebraska Library Commission and the Nebraska Library Systems.
