On Thursday, May 21, Preschool Storytime took place at Verde Valley Military Service Park with special guests, two veterans from Bert Black VFW Post 7400.
Together, we shared a story about Memorial Day and explored the importance of remembrance, service, and gratitude. The children listened thoughtfully and enjoyed the opportunity to learn from members of our community.
One of the most memorable moments came after storytime when our guests noticed a parent making the walk back to the library with three young children. They stepped in to help, pushing strollers and walking alongside the family. It was a simple act of kindness that beautifully reflected the spirit of service we had been discussing all morning.
Thank you to our guests from Bert Black VFW Post 7400 for helping create such a meaningful experience for our families.
