Your Ideas?

• Where can we park the bus so that it can be plugged into an outlet for power?
• How do you want to schedule the student visits?

The bus fits about 20 people at one time

• Schedule at least 15 minutes for Story Time. Programs that involve crafts or authors will require more time.

(615) 384-0238

Hours: 7 A.M. - 4 P.M.
