About 20 children, dressed in their pajamas, gathered Tuesday morning for Bedtime Pajama Rhyme Story Time at Forest Library. Local author Melissa Saville started off the morning by singing a few songs with the children before reading her story, "Bedtime Pajama Rhyme." The interactive story kept the children engaged and giggling the entire time. After story time, Youth Services Associate Mary Pavalonis introduced a hands-on craft activity for the children.Â
