Children's Storytimes

Children's storytime programs are offered for children of all ages. Storytime activities include some of the following: age-appropriate stories, songs, finger plays and action rhymes, poetry, filmstrips, and flannelboard stories.  Crafts are usually included for preschool storytimes.

Supervising adults are requested to accompany their children and remove them from the storytime area if they become disinterested or disruptive.

Storytime programs are free.  While each storytime includes a suggested age range, children of any age are invited to attend any of the storytimes.
