Storytime continues through May 27th at 12:30 p.m on Fridays. Bring your 2 to 4 year olds (and siblings welcome) to our drop-in program and share in stories, songs, puppets, and rhymes that help your child get ready for reading on their own. Research from the Every Child Ready to Read Program points out that it is important to read frequently with preschoolers. Children who are read to three times per week or more do much better in later development than children who are read to less than three times per week.
Not only is storytime fun for your pre-schoolers, but it helps to prepare them for learning to read and for school, and to feel comfortable in the library.
