Event Details:

This short-attention span story time is perfect for toddlers. We'll share shorter books, rhymes, and music with the understanding that sitting still is tricky sometimes. Caregivers should plan on attending and helping little ones to engage, feel comfortable, and enjoy early literacy! We'll have 20-25 minutes of interactive programming, followed by an unstructured playtime where children and caregivers can play together and/or interact with peers.

Target Audience: 2-3 years old  |  Registration encouraged to help us plan but not required

  • Our current cycle starts on Monday, October 28. (The Library will be closed on Monday, November 11 for Veterans Day.) Our break will be the week of November 18 and the next three-week cycle will start November 25.

Our age recommendations tell you the developmental level we plan for, but every child is different. Feel free to try them out and choose the storytime(s) that feel right. Everyone is welcome!
