Modern libraries are great places for families, including young children. In addition to welcoming spaces, the variety of activities make them a great place to relax. One offering you’ll find at nearly any library location is storytimes. Through stories, song, movement & play, children connect with books and other children. These activities help build language skills and a love of books. They can also help children get ready for school in a relaxed, friendly space.
Library storytimes are free and open to families, regardless of whether you have a library card for that location. While weekday morning storytime is typical for the littlest readers, many locations understand the needs of today’s families and offer weekend or evening times, too.
