## About

A special winter edition of the preschool storytime at Mesa's Gateway Library in Eastmark: half an hour of winter stories and songs, then a winter-themed craft to celebrate the holiday season. Meant for ages 3 to 5 with a caregiver; the library asks large groups such as preschool classes to contact outreach instead of attending. Free, no registration listed. It meets in the branch's Inspirian Community Room on a Wednesday morning.
