⛏ Digging into Reading at the North Adams Library Storytime

🦖 We had a great time at our Dino Dig Storytime at the North Adams Library on Tuesday, May 26, and even welcomed some special prehistoric visitors! Families enjoyed reading dinosaur-themed books before meeting a few surprise dinosaur guests for a special treat. Participants also “dug into” dinosaur eggs to discover tiny dinosaurs inside and explored our dinosaur dig sensory bins for even more hands-on learning.

📚 Join us for Storytime at the North Adams Library each Tuesday at 11 a.m. all summer long for stories, songs, crafts, and activities.
