    Stories to Share is a great new service that suggests 100 terrific books to read with your preschool age children. Reading together as a family prepares your child for school, encourages a love of reading and helps with vocabulary development. Drop by the Library to pick up a checklist of all 100 books, and a Stories to Share bag with a set of five books. The bags will be available at any Town or Mobile Library.

    Stories to Share bags generously provided by a grant through the Resource Recovery Fund Board.
