SAVE THE DATE! The third annual Step Into Storybooks event will be April 30, 2011, from 10 a.m. to noon at Ames High School. The theme this year is "Exploring Math Through Books." It is a free event, and Ames Morning Rotary will give each family a math-related children's book to take home. Activities are designed especially for babies to 5-year-old children, and it will be fun for the whole family. Co-sponsors this year are Ames Morning Rotary Club, Rotary District 6000, Ames Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Ames Public Library, Rotary Club of Ames Noon, and Raising Readers in Story County.
The Ames Morning Rotary Club, as a main sponsor, annually posts albums of Step Into Storybook photos on its website.
The second annual Step Into Storybooks event was held on May 1, 2010. The interactive stations and the featured children's books were based on a farm theme.

The first Step Into Storybooks event was held on May 2, 2009. The interactive stations featured favorite children's books and outside there was a display of city vehicles. The event was initiated and sponsored by Ames Morning Rotary with financial help from a Rotary District 6000 matching grant. Click here for photos of 2009 Step Into Storybooks.
