Did you know that Dakota County Libraries offer Baby Storytime (for infants to 24 mos.) every other Tuesday and Family Storytime (for children of all ages) every Wednesday? There is a Pajamarama Family Storytime and a Spanish Storytime offered also. Call your local library for days and times. On Monday, Nov. 9th at 7:00 P.M., Wentworth Library in West St. Paul (651-554-6800) will be hosting "Run, Yell & Tell". This is a program on stranger danger/child safety presented by Missing Children Minnesota. There is a lot of good ideas for teaching children what to do when they are approached by someone they do not know.
