Winter storytimes to continue through Feb. 23

NEWTON — The current session of winter storytimes will continue through Feb. 23 at all six Sussex County Library locations. Lapsits are for the youngest children, ages 6 months through 2 years, and include silly songs and rhymes, simple stories and fingerplays. Read & Plays are targeted to families with multiple young children, with age-appropriate books and activities for ages 6 months through 4 years.
Preschool Storytimes include more advanced stories and simple crafts to help children get ready for Kindergarten.
