Do you have a favorite pet?  It can be real or stuffed or even imaginary, but it needs to be at the Monterey Branch Library on May 12th @ 11:00 am for the story time.  Children and pets alike are invited to come to the story time to enjoy the reading of If you give a cat a cupcake by Laura Numeroff and Mary Had a Dinosaur by Eileen Brown.  We will then take time for the audience to introduce their pets to everyone.  Parents please make sure that pets are either in a cage or on a leash.

This week come join the staff at the Monterey Branch Library as we read books about the circus.  This week is national circus week, so we are being some of the big top to our own story time. 
We will be reading Circus by Lois Ehlert, BarnYard Big Top by Jill Kastner, and Dumbo Not So Fast by Ronald Kidd.  The story time children will be seeing if they can walk the tight rope, and jump thru hopes, when story time is over we will hopefully have our very own performers.  We will also be having some big top snacks so come on down to the circus in town at the Monterey Branch Library.
