Babies and their caregivers join us for stories, songs, and playtime. Registration only.
Story times are more than just books! They're interactive experiences that engage children with short stories, action rhymes, songs, and fingerplays. Our story times focus on pre-reading skills that all children need to become good readers, and they help parents practice these skills at home. Baby Story Time is intended for ages 6 - 24 months.
