A storytime experience for our youngest library users and their caregivers.
A storytime experience for our youngest library users and their caregivers. These 20-30-minute storytimes introduce a diverse collection of books, songs, rhymes and bounces developmentally appropriate for children from birth to when they start walking. We request that if you have older children, that you attend the Family Storytime on Wednesdays at 10:30 and 11:00 instead.
This is a wonderful way to introduce your child to the joys and culture of reading in a positive and fun atmosphere. This storytime is designed so the baby will be in their caregiver’s lap and the grownup is actively involved in the program.
Space is limited; free tickets required, available in-person 20 minutes before the event.
