Which Storytime is Right for Your Child
Because books and reading are an important part of every child’s life, the library plans and presents a variety of story programs with various ages and ability levels in mind. Please use the descriptions provided here to determine which program is best suited for your child and you can always consult with the children’s librarian at your branch for specific details and recommendations.

Baby Time

Designed for parents/caregivers to attend with their infants, Baby Time can include short books, action songs and bouncing rhymes. Plan on a fifteen to twenty minute program with time for baby and caregiver socializing afterwards.

Toddler Time

This program is designed for active toddlers who are walking independently and/or young children who are able to focus their attention for brief periods of time. The books are short and often invite action and participation. Parents/caregivers are encouraged to join in the fun.

Story Time

Recommended for good listeners who are learning to love books. Featured stories are varied in length—some encourage active listening while others invite active participation. Parents/caregivers are welcome to attend.

BACK Pack

BACK Pack programs include books, activities and crafts designed with school-age kids in mind. With an emphasis on fun, the sessions cover a variety of topics and offer a multitude of creative opportunities.

Family Fun

Kids (and their grownups) are invited to these engaging and entertaining library programs. You can count on some book conversation, and maybe a read-aloud as well, followed by a complimentary activity. All ages are welcome, although younger children should be accompanied by an adult.

If you have a group of children to bring to the library from a school or child care center, please call the children's librarian at your branch to make arrangements for your visit.

We urge you to call your library before heading out for a special program. Although we verify all information, cancellations do occasionally occur.
