Stop by Palen Park on Wednesdays at 5 p.m. for story time! Children and caregivers are invited to join us for stories and activities. We’ll host story time on May 19 and May 26. We’ll practice social distancing. We recommend families bring chairs or blankets to sit on. We’ll post on our Facebook page (facebook.com/OntarioPublicLibrary) and on the front door of the library if we must cancel due to bad weather. If you have questions about this event, please call (608) 337-4651.
