Storytime Libraries are known for their storytimes and we are too. Each week at around 15 minutes past the hour, tune in to hear book reviews or live readings of picture books or poetry. Today we have Ally Lybbert reviewing "Who Could That Be At This Hour?" by Lemony Snicket.  Music Literacy While many people view literacy as simply reading and writing, literacy actually reaches a broad range of disciplines.
