Reader’s Corner: Family fun at KAL children’s events

Along with Veterans Week, Thanksgiving, and the transformation of many communities into the festive atmosphere of Ozark Mountain Christmas, there are plenty of other fun and educational opportunities for area children to enjoy! The volunteers at Kimberling Area Library invite families to take advantage of children’s events coming up in November: 

• On Monday, November 10, the Library welcomes KDM Builders for a special Storytime, starting at 10:30 a.m. In addition to building-themed stories, songs and snacks, kids will get to build and take home a special craft! All ages are welcome for this special event! 

• Storytime continues on the second and fourth Mondays, with all ages welcome to enjoy books, games, songs and crafts. 

Ongoing research continues to support the importance of screen-free, interactive time in the development of well-rounded children, and Library events are a wonderful way to provide this as well as socialize with other families. Kimberling Area Library is located at 45 Kimberling Blvd., Kimberling City. Check www.kalib.org for upcoming schedule items, including some evening opportunities for families whose work or school schedule limits daytime participation.
