Story Hour Program 


 

 Every Tuesday at 10:30 am at Cooke County Library, a story hour for children & adults is held.
Each week there is a different theme and a different volunteer to lead the story hour.
The length of the program is between forty to sixty minutes. Various elements of the program include music, stories, acting, and sometimes a craft.

 

 If you are interested in participating in this year round event,
please contact Childrens/Young Adult co-ordinator, La Dean Atwell at 940-668-5530.

 

 Story hour this summer was a HUGE success!! There were 1,269 people who attended.

Thank you to all who volunteered and those who participated in the program.


Starting in September, every 3rd Tuesday, the older kids, aged 5 and up, will have a separate story hour in the children's section of the library. There will be a different theme each time. This special session will include age appropriate stories and activities.
