Baby Lapsit Storytime

Followed by Stay and Play.

A lapsit storytime for babies & their caregivers. Developmentally appropriate for children from birth to when they start walking.

This 20-minute storytime features books and baby bounce rhymes. Baby Lapsit Storytime is developmentally appropriate for children from birth to when they start walking. It's designed so that the baby will be in their caregiver’s lap and caregivers are active participants. This program provides a wonderful opportunity for babies to experience stories and rhythm and feel close to their caregivers. Caregivers will enjoy playing with their babies, learning early literacy tips, and socializing with other caregivers after storytime. The library will provide developmentally appropriate toys for Stay and Play.

Please note:This program is for pre-walking babies. Toddlers who love to walk on their own are encouraged to attend our Family Storytimes on Monday morning and Tuesday evening.

Library Program Attendance (both virtual and in the branch) is limited to participants within the suggested age range of the program. Children attending an MCPL program under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult. Adults attending a program intended for children must have an accompanying child.
