Jillian Hershberger, who spent 23 years as the Takoma Park Maryland Library's children's librarian, was the special guest leader at today's two Circle Time programs. It truly was a special -- and impromptu --occasion: Jillian's successor, Karen MacPherson, was unexpectedly detained on an out-of-town college visit with her son, and Jillian is here visiting this week from her new home in New Mexico. Fortunately, Jillian is more than familiar with Circle Time; she created our half-hour program many years ago as a way to provide a weekly, literacy-based program for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. Circle Time has continued to grow in popularity, and four years ago, we added a second Circle Time, at 11 a.m., to the one at 10 a.m. Many thanks to Ms. Jillian for coming to our rescue today!
