Our story times are crafted with all children in mind! Children with varying learning styles and abilities will learn together in a safe and supportive environment where respect and appreciation for differences are encouraged and celebrated.

Cuddle Time
Babies
Join us for a story time experience for our youngest library users and their caregivers!
These 15-20 minute story times introduce books, songs, rhymes, and activities that are developmentally appropriate for children up to 3 years old.
Our Cuddle Time is a great way to introduce your child to the joys of reading and language skills in a positive and fun atmosphere. These story times are designed so that caregivers and their children can actively engage with the books and songs, so participation is welcome!
A parent or guardian MUST accompany each child.
Morning Story Time
Preschool
Join us for Morning Story Time and share the fun of reading with your children!
Children and their grownups will explore stories and activities to encourage children to develop a lifelong love of reading and learning. These 30-to-40-minute programs are developmentally appropriate for children 2-5 years old and are designed to promote language and listening skills, expand children’s imaginations, and arouse their curiosity about the world around them. Children and their grownups are encouraged to actively engage and participate in the stories and activities during the program.
