Granny Apple shares stories, songs, and activities with little listeners and their family members here at the Gilman Library.     Unless otherwise posted, Granny Apple will be visiting the library alternate Wednesdays at 10:30 AM, whenever school is in session. Everyone is welcome to join the fun.

GRANNY APPLE TAKES THE SUMMER OFF

  “The Everywhere Man” will be performing at the Gilman Library on alternate Wednesday mornings at 10:30 AM.     He will be alternating the Wednesday morning time slot with Granny Apple’s Story Time.      The singer and guitarist will be providing entertainment for the preschool age group, their parents and caregivers, as well as older children and adults.  You do not have to be a preschooler to enjoy his performance.     

If you are visiting the Whimsy Corner at the Gilman Library, with your grown-up, please ask for your Whimsy Corner Card. You can get a stamp on the card for each visit (and one on your hand, too if you'd like!). After ten visits and the card is full and you can pick a free prize, and get a new Whimsy Corner Card.
