Lucky the Library Dragon Visits Limestone Township Library District

It is not often that a dragon comes to visit a library. Some of us would even say it could be tricky considering the fire-breathing aspect.

On Saturday, June 15 at 12:30 P.M., Lucky the Library Dragon is coming in to do a story time session and will listen to each child read a story to our resident dragon. There will be crafts and sensory activities to do while waiting for each child’s turn to read to Lucky. Open to all ages.

When you register, make sure to sign up for any program that fits your child or yourself. We plan to have a busy summer making crafts, visiting with people, exploring nature, and having a Medieval Faire on June 22.
