| Storytimes introduce children to children’s
literature and provide a shared group experience for them. Storytimes
acquaint children with a wide range of books, folktales and legends,
and encourages development of life-long reading interests. Reading is
the key to success in life. It is our goal to provide an enjoyable and
rewarding experience for your children when they attend our programs
and to assist them in developing a love for reading.
Story Time is a program designed as a shared library experience
for children and their caregiver. The librarian will share
the best in children's literature and illustration, and will enhance
the story time with songs, fingerplays, and flannelboard. In addition
to hearing enriching literature, we will reinforce traditional pre-school
concepts such as counting, identifying colors, animal names, etc.
Adults who accompany children are encouraged to actively participate
as a model for their child. It is our goal to provide an educational
experience that is also entertaining, and to nurture an early love
of books and reading.

A Few Reminders
Parents should arrive a few minutes before storytime so that children
may receive their nametags, go the the restroom, get a drink of water,
etc., prior to the beginning of each program. Participants
should arrive a few minutes early. It is very disruptive to the group
when a child arrives late to the program. Toddler Time and Storytime session generally lasts 30 minutes. Younger
and older siblings do not attend storytimes that are not appropriate
for their age. It is necessary to ask parents to remain in the building during storytime.
Many
other programs are offered throughout the year for children of all ages.
