From now until August 25th, children can read their way for a chance at a baseball prize as they participate in "Pirates Tales." Once a child reads a book and turns in a "Pirates Tales" entry form to Ms. Tami's desk, they will progress around the bases, with the ultimate goal of hitting a Grand Slam! The library that has the most "Pirates Tales" participants will win a pizza party with the Pirate Parrot! Call us at 412-833-5585 for more information!

Babies through 2 years olds (with caretakers) are invited to chime right in to this music and dance class. We will start by "Shaking Out Our Sillies." We will read a few special "Out of This World" themed board books. Next, everyone will get the chance to break out the musical instruments for tons of fun. Your babies will love to move their arms, hands, legs, feet and heads to the music!
