General Information Regarding Storyhours Your child must have a library card to take books out of the library. If he/she does not have one, please take a moment to fill out an application at the front desk before the start of the program. The first day of Storyhour is quite hectic and it is a great help to desk staff if cards are issued in advance. Your child's library card will be kept at the front desk for the entirety of the program.

Occasionally, storyhour may be cancelled due to severe weather conditions. If the Medina schools are closed, Storyhour is cancelled. If schools are not closed, but Miss Mack feels it is necessary to cancel Storyhour, a call will be made at least one hour before storyhour is scheduled to begin.

Food is sometimes served during storyhour sessions. Please let Miss Mack know in advance if your child suffers from any food allergies.
