## About

Books and Boogie (Hora de cuentos) is Gilroy Library's Thursday-morning storytime with Librarian Rosa, presented in English and Spanish. Children and caregivers share engaging stories, playful rhymes, fingerplays and music-and-movement activities that build early literacy skills. Afterward families can stay and explore the library's brand-new Play Space in the children's area during Stay and Play time. A good weekly outing for South County families with babies, toddlers and preschoolers.
