Thomaston — Starting Friday, Sept. 7 at 11 a.m., the Thomaston Public Library will hold a weekly story hour for children up to 7-years-old. The program will include readings and craft time. On the first Friday of every month, there will be a special guest from community groups.

The opening event Sept. 7 will feature Jess Day of Midcoast Music Together. Day, a teacher and director of the program, has been offering classes in the Midcoast area since 2008. Her classes are internationally recognized early childhood music and movement programs that promote pre-literacy and all learning.

Families are invited to gather in the children’s room to sing, dance and play for a morning of fun and excitement! The free event is sponsored by Dena Davis and funds from the Thomaston Children’s Festival. Children must be accompanied by an adult or family member. For more information, call 354-2453 during library hours.

Thomaston Public Library is located at 60 Main St./Route 1 in the Thomaston Academy Building. Public parking is located next to the back entrance. This event is free and open to all ages.
