Pajama Story Time - March 28

Attention all children ages 5-10 years old:

Don your pajamas, grab your teddy bear and your mom or dad, and come to the Alpine Public Library on Saturday, March 28, at 7:00 pm.  We will watch the puppet show “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” read some insects stories, make a butterfly craft project, and look at a butterfly wing under a microscope.  This program is free and will last about and hour.  Be sure to wear your pajamas!
