As one of their many weekend programs, the Anza Valley Community Library hosted Chick-Chick-Chickens story time for children Saturday, May 6. The event included day-old chicks for the children to see and touch. The fluffy little birds were hatched in an incubator by library staff in anticipation of the weekend program.
Librarian Kay Mackay read chicken-themed books to a gathering of preschool and elementary children, while mothers and fathers listened just as intently. Her animated style, limitless patience for questions and warm reading style brought the books to life for the curious children.
Visitors to the library during the story time were greeted by chick peeps, youngsters cheerfully asking or answering questions, laughter and many smiles.
