Monday Craft Kits and Tuesday Toddler Time!

Yesterday was a holiday, but that doesn't mean we're skipping our Monday craft kits!

Come in and pick up a Yeti Craft (5-7 year olds) or a Five Green and Speckled Frogs Craft (2-4 year olds) at the drive through or in the Children's Department!

Coraline Trailer!

Here's the best trailer for Coraline so far. And it's actually Neil Gaiman's (he wrote the book) favorite! The movie comes out February 6th and I'll definitely be seeing it that weekend, so if you want to see it with me let me know and we can get a group of people to see it together! I know Kathleen and Mallory are already on board! dftba, Sti
