Moms Find Support, Friendship At Library Storytime Group

People come to Medicine Hat Public Library for many different reasons like borrowing materials, participating in programs, quiet study and just to hang out in our beautiful and welcoming space. Sometimes on top of whatever they came here for, they find a little extra.

That's the case with a group of moms who've been attending our Family Storytimes.

Connecting at Storytime, these moms have found support and developed friendships that continue outside the library when the stories and the playtime are finished.
