We have 2 Story Times at the library:
- Baby Storytime: Thursday at 10:15 a.m.
- Rhythm & Rhyme Storytime: Fridays at 10:15 a.m.
Which Story Time is Right for My Child?
We get asked this question quite often here at the library, and the best answer is this: Bring your child to the story time that best suits their age and ability. Children grow, learn, and develop at different stages, so there is no universal age or time when they will be ready to transition to the next group Story Time setting.
I’m new to Story time. What do I need to know?
Baby Storytime: Thursday at 10:15 a.m.*
*Paused for the summer. Will Return August 12th!
Baby Storytime is a 20-25 minute lap-sit Storytime designed especially for our youngest patrons. This intro to Storytime is intended to teach the very foundations of early literacy, while providing a safe setting for our little ones and their caregivers to learn and explore together! This session features lots of bounces, songs, and familiar rhymes in between readings of 2-3 short books, usually with simplistic & repetitive text. There will be ample opportunities for children to interact with both books and manipulatives (think scarves and shakers) in order to participate in a hands-on fashion & develop fine motor skills.
Rhythm & Rhyme Storytime: Fridays at 10:15 a.m.
Rhythm & Rhyme Storytime is a 30-45 minute Storytime geared towards toddlers & preschoolers who are ready to engage with stories in a more interactive setting. This Storytime features lots of songs, action rhymes, props, and chances for movement to get our wiggles out in between readings of 2-3 short books. These sessions may include Questions of the Day, themes to connect, activities or games, etc. to inspire creativity and critical thinking!
If you are new to Story Time or think your child may be ready to move to the next age group, please feel free to stop by whichever time you choose just to try it out. There is no registration, and every Story Time is free and open to the public. Happy Reading!
