Gently used board books are needed at both the CazCares Story Room and the Georgetown Storytime Room.Board books are shared with families in order to provide an opportunity for reading aloud to infants and young toddlers. These types of books are small enough to be held in tiny hands and have sturdy, thick pages, usually made out of cardboard. The stories are short in length—just right for a baby’s limited attention span.
The Georgetown Storytime Room operates through the St. James Mustard Seed Food and Clothing Pantry, and is also sponsored by the Cazenovia Public Library. The Storytime Room is located above the Mustard Seed Pantry in Georgetown, and is open Tuesday mornings, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. The CazCares Story Room operates through the Cazenovia Public Library and CazCares, and is located at CazCares on Nelson Street in Cazenovia. The Story Room is open Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm, during regular Food and Clothing Pantry hours. Both informal settings provide young children with the opportunity for play and socialization, as well as exposure to a variety of reading and language skills, while adult family or caregivers visit the pantry at each site.
Donated board books, as well as picture books for young elementary school-age children, can be dropped off at the CazCares Story Room during its normal hours of operation.
