    We've been to story time with Ms. Kathy a dozen times, we drive from a different part of Mpls because it's that good.  She adapts the story time activities to fit whatever age of the kids that arrive that day, and to fit whatever the mood of the crowd (from quiet sitting on their hands to ravenous beasts out for blood).  She remembers all the kids names and is genuinely interested in them.

    She also incorporates what she's learned from recent research on literacy.  She has even my 1 year old attempt writing her name on her name tag, because she says that early attempts at writing help kids develop writing skills later on.

    There's books, songs, movement, and felt storyboards, and then either toys or art afterward.  Usually Wednesdays 10:30.

    Whenever I'm here, I wonder why I don't come more often!  

    This is a very child friendly library;  Ms Kathy is fabulous!  I've been to enough to story hours to know it isn't as easy to do as you might hope.

    We always find good books for everyone in our family.

    The building is lovely, lots of light and some large climbable leaf sculptures that my children adore.
