October
As the weather starts to turn cooler, and going outside isn’t an option, Rodman Public Library has the solution to keep kids and their caregivers moving.
Designed to help participants shake their sillies out, Stories in Motion will debut on Wednesday, October 25 at 6 p.m.
The program, led by Cyndi Shutt, is a half hour full of stories and songs that will get both children and their adult companions on their feet and moving around as everyone inside the auditorium for Stories in Motion is expected to participate.
Kids, from birth to 12 years old, are invited to attend the monthly program.
November
Stories in Motion will be held again in November on Wednesday, November 29 at 6 p.m.
