Storytime

Babies in the Library storytimes are for pre-walking babies (0-12 months). Early literacy skills are taught within a thirty-minute storytime of songs, bounces, and reading, followed by a half-hour of play and chat time.

Enjoy a free movie on Tuesdays at 2:45 p.m. at the Phoenix Library, 510 West 1st Street.

February 20: Rio: When Blu, a domesticated macaw from small-town Minnesota, meets the fiercely independent Jewel, he takes off on an adventure to Rio de Janeiro with the bird of his dreams.

February 27: Mars Needs Moms: A young boy named Milo gains a deeper appreciation for his mom after Martians come to Earth to take her away.

These free film showings are proudly sponsored by the Friends of the Phoenix Library, who also provide free snacks. For more information please call the Phoenix Library at 541-535-7090 or visit jcls.org.
