Everyone needs to come check out the Millbrook Public Library in Millbrook, Alabama for books of all ages. Every Thursday morning Angie Dewberry does a story and craft time from 10 to 11 a.m.
This weeks theme was all about Ghosts.
“The last time we had a preschool story hour was back in February 2020. We have not had one since the COVID pandemic. We were happy to have brought back the preschool story hour and we will keep doing the preschool story time every Thursday with exception of holidays. We are taking a break from the story time during Christmas and the New Years and will pick back up in the middle of January,” Dewberry said.
Linda Moore is the Director for the Millbrook Public Library. Angie Dewberry is the Assistant Director and children’s Librarian.
Dewberry has been with Millbrook Public Library for 25 years. She enjoys reading to all the children and looks forward to their visits and talks. Kimberly Breen is a circulation librarian and has been with Millbrook Public Library for over two years.
Breen is over the Creative Writing program that the Millbrook Public Library had before the COVID pandemic started. The program was shut down due to COVID. Breen said, “The Creative Writing class is open now and its open for all ages. Now that I can bring it back, I look forward to meeting everyone who signs up for this class and they will learn more about creative writing as well.”
The first class will start on November 6th. Breen also has an English degree from college.
