We’d love for you to join us for a super fun and cozy 20-minute Storytime adventure! Our sessions are perfect for kids ages 3 to 5 and will include two delightful stories, some interactive songs, fun movement activities, and a cute craft to take home! To keep things comfy and cozy, we limit each Storytime to just 16 children. We encourage parents to let their little ones attend on their own, as this helps build important school readiness skills and encourages independence. Mrs. Megan and Mrs. Elaine can’t wait to share stories and songs with your kids while helping them develop a lifelong love for reading. We’re so excited to see you there!

Kill for Me, Kill for You by Steve Cavanagh
One dark evening on New York City’s Upper West Side, two strangers meet by chance. Over drinks, Amanda and Wendy realize they have much in common, especially loneliness and an intense desire for revenge against the men who destroyed their families. As they talk into the night, they come up with the perfect plan: if you kill for me, I’ll kill for you.
In another part of the city, Ruth is home alone when the beautiful brownstone she shares with her husband, Scott, is invaded. She’s attacked by a man with piercing blue eyes, who disappears into the night. Will she ever be able to feel safe again while the blue-eyed stranger is out there? -
