The Lima Symphony Orchestra is kicking off a new season of its Symphony Storytime series. Musicians visit libraries in seven area counties to share books that are brought to life with music. On Tuesday they visited the Auglaize Public Library to showcase the violin, viola, or cello for their program "Tails and Tunes," which features stories involving animals. The symphony hopes that the storytimes will inspire the children to find music when they get older and get the benefits, like creativity and memory, that come with it.
