Storytime -Will Resume June 18
Storytime is geared for children ages approx. 2.5 to 5, but all ages are welcome to attend. We encourage caregivers to hold children under 3 in their laps while everyone enjoys the fun! Storytimes are 30 minutes long and filled with books, songs, fingerplays, action rhymes, puppets, dramatics, simple crafts, and more – a variety every week. Each week is a new theme.
Small Fry Lapsit Storytime - Will Resume June 17
This lapsit storytime is geared for little ones ages 0 to 3; all ages are welcome to attend! Small Fry Lapsit Storytimes are 20 minutes long and filled with short books, songs, action rhymes, and more! Some stories and rhymes are repeated each week, and new ones are gradually introduced. Everyone sits on the floor, with children sitting in their caregiver’s laps, so grown-ups can share in the fun.
The following programs require registration:
Toddler Tales - Fall & Spring Only
For toddlers 16-32 months and their caregivers. One child per adult.
Toddler Tales introduces nursery and action rhymes, songs, stories, letters, sounds, and new words. This program is tailored to the shorter attention spans of a younger audience and lasts 20 minutes, with time for free play and visiting in the storytime room after the program.
Please note: Toddler Tales is specifically geared for one-on-one parent-toddler interactions and older children are not permitted to attend the program. If you are unable to make alternate arrangements for your older children, Small Fry Lapsit Storytime is a better fit for you. Small Fry is open to all ages, including older children.
Baby & Me - Fall & Spring Only

Stimulate your baby’s senses and build brain power with short books, songs, music, rhyme, rhythm and lap bounces. This program is tailored to the very short attention spans of a very young audience and lasts 20 minutes, with time for free play and visiting in the storytime room after the program.
Please Note: Baby & Me is specifically geared for one-on-one parent-baby interactions and older children are not permitted to attend the program.
