“Bounce Into Books” with Skippyjon Jones

Children’s Spring Programs at Longview Public Library take the theme “Bounce Into Books!” from Judith Schachner’s Skippyjon Jones.  Skippyjon is a Siamese “kitty boy,” who pretends to be a Chihuahua, “Skippito.”  He’s full of bounce and imagination, and children’s programs will follow his lead, with storytimes about bouncing balls, bouncy animals, and “let’s pretend.” 

Storytimes and family programs are free fun for all ages at the Longview Public Library. The library programs run April 7 – May 16.  Parents of babies, toddlers and preschoolers should register now, either in person by calling 360.442.5301, or on-line at  http://www.longviewlibrary.org/onlinereg.html.   No registration is needed for Fun / Homework Hour or the bilingual “Salsa” programs…just drop in!
