–Life may be mostly virtual these days, but the Paso Robles City Library is still providing classes that incorporate hands-on craft activities.
Each week, craft kits are available in the Children’s Library to supplement two children’s storytime classes: Animal Tales Story Time & Craft for ages 1st-5th grades, with Miss Frances, which airs Wednesdays at 2:30 p.m. on the library’s Facebook page, and Toddler Story Time & Craft for ages 1-3 years, with Miss Cappy, which airs Fridays at 10 a.m. on the library’s Facebook page. Enjoy doing the crafts on your own or along with Miss Frances and Miss Cappy. Post a pic of your creation to the Library’s Facebook page for fun! If you miss these two classes, the videos are accessible until 5 p.m.
Two libraries in two distinct areas on the Central Coast have stepped up to carry on being a direct resource for all ages during a time when most facilities have had to limit or halt their services during this pandemic. The doors of the Paso Robles City Library were temporarily closed for several months, but it never stopped providing services to the community, especially online access to digital material and ensuring students had library cards, according to librarian Angelica Fortin. click to enlarge Photo Courtesy Of Bruce Cook
