Storytimes

Parents and caregivers are asked to join in on the fun at all Storytimes!

Baby Lapsit
Ages 0-18 months
20 minutes of nursery rhymes, songs and stories introduce babies to the
rhythm and beauty of language, building the foundation for a lifelong love
of books and reading.  As all activities happen with babies on grown-up
laps, plan to attend in a one-to-one baby/adult ratio.

Toddler Storytimes
Ages 1 1/2 -3
Designed for toddlers, this 20-minute program consists of simple picture
books, fingerplays and a flannelboard story or a puppet.

Toddler Play & Learn Storytime
Ages 1 1/2 -3
20 minutes of simple stories, songs and fingerplays followed by 30 minutes
of activities introducing the concepts of math, science and literacy.

Storytimes
Ages 2-5
With an appealing combination of new and familiar stories, songs and poems,
this 30-minute storytime broadens the little ones’ horizons and reinforces
the pleasure of reading in the more “grown-up” 5-year-olds.

Ages 2-5
30 minutes of picture books, fingerplays, songs, puppets and an occasional
craft or game.

Preschool Storytime
Ages 3 - 5
30 minutes of picture books, fingerplays, songs, puppets and an occasional craft or game.

Preschool Play & Learn Storytime
Ages 3 - 5
An hour of fun for the intrepid preschooler: stories, songs and fingerplays
followed by activities that explore preschool-level concepts of math,
science, art and literacy.

Family Story Evening
All Ages
Similar to the preschool storytime but for kids of all ages–—and their
adults!  Children may wear pajamas and bring a favorite stuffed toy or
blanket.
