Toddler Time

Toddler Time is a lap-sit storytime for children ages three and under. It focuses on stories, finger plays, action songs, and rhymes that are shared with the toddlers and the adults who bring them. During each program, toddler's will be introduced to first Spanish words, focusing on numbers & colors. The goal is to develop and nurture a child's love of books, and to prepare children for a family storytime experience.

1st & 3rd Fridays of the month at 10 a.m.

 


Storytime Guidelines

  1. Arrive early! We begin each program right on time, and you do not want to miss any fun!

  2. Visit the restroom before storytime begins.

  3. Please be considerate. Take crying or disruptive children out of the story room.

  4. Listen, listen, listen! Parents and children should be as quiet as possible while the storyteller is speaking. Each storytime incorporates fingerplays, songs, and movement, so you'll have plenty of time to shake out your sillies!

  5. Parents should sit with children under three to prevent distractions.

  6. Enjoy yourselves. Each program is designed to introduce kids to the pleasures of reading. Books and libraries are fun!
