Storytimes Now Outside!
Genealogy Interest Group
To try to keep everyone safer, the in-person storytimes in September and October will be held on the library’s front lawn, weather permitting. Please check the events calendar or your email for any last-minute cancellations. If we cancel due to rain or muddy ground we will still stream the storytime live on YouTube. Bring a blanket for your little ones; we’ll provide vinyl cushions. There is still space available for Fremont cardholders to attend in person. Please register!
Our Genealogy Librarian will be on Zoom to answer your questions and help you with your searches. (Online)
