🚒 Fire Safety Week at Story Time! 🚒

Story Time today was straight-up FIRE—literally! 🔥 We kicked off Fire Safety Week in the coolest way possible with some very special VIP guests: DJ and Emily from the Whitewood Volunteer Fire Department! And yes... they brought the brand-new fire truck! 🚒✨

Here’s how the magic went down:
📖 Emily read a super sweet story, about real life fire fighter, Rosie
🙋‍♂️ Curious Minds: Question time was off the charts! Our kids (and parents!) dropped some top-tier questions.
🚨 The Ultimate VIP Tour: Things went from awesome to UNFORGETTABLE! The kids got to climb inside the new truck, hear the sirens blast, and see all the cool gear up close!
👨‍🚒 Gear Up & Demos: Emily suited up in her full firefighter rig while DJ broke down what all that heavy-duty gear does. To top it off, they demoed the mind-blowing Jaws of Life! 🛠️💥

A MASSIVE, HEARTFELT THANK YOU to DJ, Emily, and the incredible Whitewood Volunteer Fire Department! 🪓❤️ You made learning about safety an absolute blast, and we are so grateful for everything you do to keep our community safe every single day! Thank you to the library volunteers that are an important part of Story Time!!🌟👏

Give a shout-out to our local heroes in the comments! 👇👇👇
