PARIS – The Paris Pubic Library offers storytime for preschoolers at 10 a.m. Thursdays. The programs include sharing stories and a craft related to the story theme.

On Nov. 20, the theme will be “Thanksgiving Thoughts.” Participants will color and assemble a turkey as a holiday decoration.

On Dec. 11, Cynthia Rylant’s Henry and Mudge stories will be shared with a color sheet of Mudge.
