Zamenes has been delighting kids and families for two decades. The event was one of several unique Lafayette events focused on younger kids and their families this summer.
Through the month of August on Tuesday nights at 6 p.m., the Lafayette Library hosts a half-hour Campfire Storytime for the whole family. The evenings include singing songs, reading picture books aloud, and body movement activities for the younger children as well as crafts and coloring. Sensory Storytime is also offered at 10:30 to 11 a.m. on Thursdays at the Library through the month of August and features a visual storytime schedule, lots of repetition, short and interactive stories, designated seating, and dim lights to accommodate everyone. While Sensory Storytime is for toddlers and preschoolers, all are welcome.
Bel and Bunna's Books is also hosting two Special Circle and Story Times, the first at the Library at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, July 25 and at the book store on Aug. 31, featuring "The Very Hungry Catepillar" Circle Time.
