Annie’s Story Time
May 4 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Story time will be held on the lawn of the Glidden Homestead, 921 W. Lincoln Highway (next to Glidden Florist), and will be moved indoors if inclement weather. These programs are held monthly at 1 pm on the first Sunday of each month, starting on May 4.
These interactive story times for children may feature songs, movement and more. This event is free. No registration is required.
Annie’s Story Time is named for Joseph F. Glidden’s niece, Annie Glidden, who was a major promoter of DeKalb’s cultural and social causes during her lifetime. In 1898, seeing the need to supply the recently formed DeKalb Public Library with good books, Annie formed the Library Whist Club. On Monday afternoons, this group of women came together to play the card game whist. Monies from their membership dues were used for library book purchases. To date, the library has received over 10,000 volumes from their activities.
