We had some nice visitors at the library today for our "Penguins with Pizzazz" story time. We read a book about a funny penguin named Tacky called Tacky in Trouble, sang a song where we waddled like penguins, and made a craft. I can't wait to see the rest of you for our second round of penguin story times on Saturday!

Happy Reading!

Love,
