The Oglesby Preschool for All Program hosted a Storybook Trail Event on Monday evening at Lincoln! Families were invited to walk around the playground while choosing books to read and gathering up natural materials like leaves, twigs and bark. The families then were able to use the materials to make a beautiful bookmark, participate in a book swap, and sign up for their very own library card courtesy of the Oglesby Library with Director Jeanne Struna. They also snuck in a little playground fun on the beautiful evening! The Preschool Program has openings available if you would like to join us! Call 815-883-9137 for info on enrolling your 3-4 year old!
Don't forget! Tomorrow, Wednesday, September 21st is a 2:00 p.m. dismissal day!
