Columbus County Partnership for Children (Smart Start), in collaboration with Whiteville City Schools, welcomes you to Smart Start Virtual Story Time! Join us as we bring these stories to life! Feel free to access the stories at your convenience, whenever and as often as you like. Read along if you have the books! All you have to do is select a story, open up your copy of the book, click the link and read along with one of our community readers. A new story will be posted each Thursday, beginning September 17, 2020.
Families can access pre-recorded sessions posted to Facebook @ColumbusSmartStart. These stories are brought to you directly from the Smart Start Early Learning Facility!
