Ms. Chrissy's Final Family Storytime

Friday, January 17, 10:00 a.m.

A Message From Ms. Chrissy

The Library has been so meaningful to me, and you and your families have made it incredibly special. Every storytime, program, and interaction with you and your kiddos has been a joyful gift that I cherish and will deeply miss.

Friday, January 17th, at 10 a.m. will be my final Family Storytime and last day at the Southwest Harbor Public Library. If you're able to join for storytime, I would love to see you there and celebrate our time together! If not, I hope to see you around the community in my new role, or simply while enjoying life amongst our amazing community here in Maine 

Thank you for all the great memories!

With love,

Ms. Chrissy
