This summer, I had the great privilege of holding storytimes at The Hot Spot Coffee House in Johnstown, Ohio. With suitcase in hand and Tiptoe Mouse leaving "clues" to our next destination, we took trips to the beach, the city, our own backyards, the jungle, and my personal favorite, wherever our imaginations took us. I'm not sure who had more fun - me, or the kids.
Thanks to the moms and dads who gave donations during our storytime journey. The money collected went to the purchase of three books: To the Beach by Thomas Docherty, Birds by Kevin Henkes, and If I Were a Jungle Animal by Amanda Ellery. These titles will be added to the picture book collection at the Mary E. Babcock library for the delight and enjoyment of all children in Johnstown and the surrounding community.
And many, many thanks to Cille at the Hot Spot for allowing us use of her back room for all of the singing, stomping, clapping, dancing, and general craziness that goes on during storytime.
Tiptoe Time will return to the Hot Spot at 10:00 a.m. on the first and third Fridays of every month, starting in September. As always, donations are gladly accepted and will be used for the purchase of library books.
