It is absolutely ridiculous that going on 3 years of this pandemic they are still doing virtual story time. Oxford and Lake Orion have been back in-person for over a year. They have hardly any toys out for the kids to play with. Libraries are suppose to be a resource for low income children, whose parents who aren’t able to provide an abundance of toys, to play with new and fun toys. The play area is pitiful.
