Papilion manager Katherine Coburn said the program is targeted for third through fifth grades, but children of any age are welcome. She said the StoryTime is a 4-H Club Development Program.
"We're just offering something that could attract parents with kids, or grandparents with kids," she said. "There's probably a variety of people who will be reading the stories."
The program will feature books that relate to gardening or nature, Coburn said.
The StoryTime will feature several gardening activities, such as planting seeds, as well as tours of the Papilion gardens There also will be tours of the Papilion Butterfly House and lessons in what butterflies need.
Hattie Witherell, an intern from Oklahoma State University, will help with the program.
"She's got lots of good energy," Coburn said.
