The Mansfield Public Library is rolling out a full lineup of fall programming for children, including weekly preschool storytime and a new monthly Sticker Club.

Preschool storytime returns Friday, Sept. 12, at 10:30 a.m. Sessions meet outdoors while weather allows, then move to the libraryโ€™s reference room.

Each week features songs, stories, a craft and playtime; the kickoff theme is friendship.

Other themes for the fall will include autumn, apples, fire safety, pumpkins, forest animals and giving thanks. A special Halloween storytime will be held on Friday, Oct. 31.ย 

The fall session will run through Dec. 12 with no storytime on Sept. 26 or Nov. 28.
