All children entering kindergarten this fall are invited to participate in a special storytime at the Grant Brimhall/T.O. Library on Tues., Aug. 22. The "Off to a Great Start!" storytime is offered at 11 a.m., 2 and 7 p.m. at 1401 E. Janss Road, Thousand Oaks. This 30-minute storytime of

short tales, rhymes and fingerplays is designed to ease those first-dayof-school jitters and inspire children to develop a love of books, reading and school fun.
