All Sorts of Storytimes!

If you have a child or children under the age of 6, we've got all kinds of story times and activities for you and your child to enjoy!

On Mondays @ 10am, we have a Preschool Storytime in our Community Room! A staff member or designated storyteller reads a few picture books to the children, singing songs in between the books to keep their attention. After the Preschool Storytime is over, children are free to play in the back room, in the play area upstairs, or to find and check out library books.

We have a Baby Lapsit story time @ 11am after the Preschool Storytime on Mondays. During this story time, infants and toddlers are welcome to sit on their parents' laps in the Community Room to listen to picture book stories and songs. After the story time is over, parents can chat, select books and board books, and let the toddlers play in the back room. There is also a Baby Lapsit story time every Thursday @ 10am.

The Storyriders story time is once a week @ 11am on Wednesdays. These educational story times have a theme, such as apples, fire safety, colors, or music. Children listen to Miss Barb read picture books, sing songs related to the day's theme, then put together a craft or play a game! Kids really love these story times!

We also have special bilingual Storytime Fiestas! Children listen to Miss Joanne read picture books in Spanish and English, then everyone sings Spanish and English songs and creates a craft. Sometimes Miss Joanne also brings authentic Mexican food for everyone to enjoy! Keep an eye out for the Storytime Fiesta posters!

Bring your children, your friends' children, your nieces and nephews, grandchildren, or the children you babysit - All are welcome to the storytimes, and best of all, they're free! It's a great way to get children  excited about reading, and parents and guardians can network and chat.  Hope to see you here!
