Courtney Biddle, founder of Progressions Music Therapy, is a licensed music therapist, and we are so excited that she will be leading a series of sensory storytimes this winter and spring. This storytime is open to all abilities, but we especially invite those with special needs. Caregivers and their children will experience music and books in an environment that is welcoming and fun. This evening storytime is not to be missed—you can even have the kids wear their pajamas if that makes your evening routine easier! For ages 3 - 8 and registration is required.

This program is made possible with funds from the Libraries Transforming Communities grant.
