Welcome to my storytime blog! I have created a Virtual Storytime room with some stories and fun activities for you to do at home when you can't make it to the library. Stories and activities are changed every couple of weeks. You can also access past story blogs by using the sidebar search box.

Magic

"The sun is shining -- the sun is shining. That is the Magic. The flowers are growing -- the roots are stirring. That is the Magic. Being alive is the Magic -- being strong is the Magic. The Magic is in me -- the Magic is in me … It's in everyone of us." 

-- Francis Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden, 1911
