Storytime Books & Rhymes

Wednesdays & Thursdays @ 10:00 am & 11:00 am 

Family Storytime is for toddlers & preschoolers who can actively engage. This interactive program with books, music, and movement is a high engagement storytime that instills the love of literacy and the Library at an early age. Caregivers also learn valuable information on how to continue building literacy at home. While older siblings are welcome, we will focus on early literacy skills and practices. Thursday is a repeat of Wednesday’s program.

Due to limited space, tickets are required for entry and can be collected at the reference desk up to 30-minutes prior. Families will not be permitted to enter after 10 minutes.
