Demmer Library celebrates a milestone

THREE LAKES - Young kids in Three Lakes didn't get to go to kindergarten back in the 1960s. It wasn't offered. So, some community leaders wanted to find a way to prepare children for school.

They created Story Hour at the Demmer Library in 1964 to help. Parents and community members saw it as a way to help children learn to socialize and work in a classroom setting.

"It involves play time - open, free play time, story time, a craft or some activity, song, and movement, and usually a snack," says Library Director Erica Brewster.
