Libraries Rock!: 2018 Summer Library Program: Park and Read Storytimes

These outdoor, summer storytimes are held weekly at Washington Park in Olde Towne Bellevue.  We use a shady spot along the Franklin Street side of the park for this 30-40 minute program which starts at noon.  Everyone is invited to bring lawn chairs or a blanket as well as a picnic lunch to enjoy while I read stories.
Each child in attendance gets to take home a prize of their choice!
