Storytimes

We offer weekly storytimes for 3, 4 and 5 year olds. The stories are chosen by a children’s librarian to be developmentally appropriate for preschoolers. Stories for 5 year olds will typically be a little longer with more characters than those read to 3 year olds. Each storytime includes songs and fingerplays to encourage your child’s verbal development, ability to follow directions and to interact with a group of peers.

Stories are held on:

Monday at 9:45 for ages 3 – 5 with a parent

Wednesday at 7:00 for ages 3 – 7 with a parent

Thursday at 9:45 for 3 year olds attending alone

Thursday at 10:30 for 4 and 5 year olds attending alone

No Registration is required
