Sign Up for Story Hour at the Homewood Public Library

Did you happen to catch yesterday's piece on nine-year-old Homewood author Chloe Ochoa? One detail hardly mentioned is that part of Chloe's inspiration comes from the time she's spent going to story hour at the Homewood Public Library. Starting today, you too can help your tots and preschool-aged kids blossom by signing them up for weekly story hour classes. Though the cost is free, openings are limited. You can call ahead to register at 708-798-0121, or visit the Homewood Public Library online calendar to sign up.
