Saturday Stories
Cherry Street Books offers a free story time for children every Saturday at 10 AM. Geared mainly for pre-school - Kindergarten ages, the 30-40 minute sessions are a great time for the kids to enjoy stories, songs, activities and crafts. We'll have the coffee on for parents and grandparents.
