Goldie's Kids Club - Storytime

    Storytime

    The digital storytime program will return in the fall of 2021. But don't worry, there are many other Goldie's Kids Club offerings to keep young historians busy throughout the summer!

    Iowa is full of colorful characters! Meet a few on the third Wednesday of each month with a digital storytime program with Goldie's Kids Club. Each month, a new book recommendation and hands-on activity with an Iowa connection will be digitally released. This at-home program is recommended for young historians (ages 3-7).
