Family Storytime at Damascus Community Recreation Center

Presented by Damascus Library Staff

Join us at the Damascus Community Recreation Center, located at 25520 Oak Drive, Damascus, MD 20872, for a weekly 40-minute program designed for children ages newborn to 5 years old.

While the Damascus Library is being renovated, Damascus Library staff are pleased to present Family Story Time at the Damascus Community Recreation Center located at 25520 Oak Dr, Damascus, MD 20872. There is also a drop box located at the Recreation Center for convenient returns of books and other library materials. 

These 40-minute programs are designed to delight children ages newborn to 5 years old, and are filled with diverse stories and activities that promote and develop language skills and imagination. These programs encourage children to develop pre-reading skills and a lifelong love of reading and learning.​
