Youngsville Life

Photo submitted to Times Observer There’s always a large crowd of fair goers, both young and old, that eagerly attend Youngsville Public Library’s Story hour day at the Warren County Fair. It’s now tradition for the Youngsville Library to kick off the Fair’s daily story hour program by sponsoring Tuesday from 11 a.m. to noon (the first day of the program). Board member Sue Kibbey (right) reads the story “The Wide-mouthed Frog” by Keith Faulkner with the assistance of Friends of YPL President Jane Hamblin (left). Through the use of interactive stories, activities, songs, hats and props for the audience, goodie bags, and much more kids and adults alike were entertained with the library’s chosen theme of “all about frogs and toads.” All materials were provided by the Friends of Youngsville Library.
