Musical Storytime, a monthly hands-on musical instrument experiences for

local preschool children, will be held on Monday, January 13th at 10:00

a.m. at the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita. The event will be

repeated on Thursday, January 16th at 10:00 a.m. in the Kids Make

Theatre classroom at the Liberty Theatre in Astoria in partnership with

the Astoria Library and Liberty Theatre. This month’s story, Owl Babies, is

a delightful children’s classic – a gentle tale of three baby owls celebrating

the bond between mothers and their children. With stunning illustrations

and a live accompaniment by North Oregon Coast Symphony musician

Shelley Loring on flute, children and parents alike will enjoy the happy

ending. Children will learn more about the flute and piccolo as Loring

demonstrates her instruments. Children will be able to play a wind

instrument after the story. This event is free and open to children ages 3-5

and their adults.

The North Oregon Coast Symphony, North Tillamook Library, and Astoria

Library have formed a partnership to bring live music and hands-on

musical instrument experiences to the northern coast of Oregon. For more
