Join Us For A Very Special Children’s Story Time with Vanessa Jones Music

Friday, November 21, 2025 • 10:00–11:00 AM

Get ready to sing, dance, and smile! Join us at the Bridgton Public Library for a joyful morning of music, movement, and story time with Vanessa Jones Music, a beloved Maine musician known for her heartwarming songs that inspire connection and creativity in young listeners.

Vanessa recently released her delightful new children’s album, Full Circle: Gentle Songs for Children — a beautiful collection of tunes that celebrate kindness, imagination, and the simple joys of growing up.

This special story time is perfect for families with little ones — come share in the laughter, the rhythm, and the wonder of music made just for kids (and the grown-ups who love them).

So tell your mom, and rally your littles to come join the fun as we fill the library with songs, stories, and happy hearts!

We can’t wait!
