Story Times

Pick your story time based on type, day, time or location

Our story times are based on the Every Child Ready to Read method that identifies six skills that help children learn to read and five practices that enhance those skills.

Doing our part to keep your family safe:

In-person story times for children 11-years-old and younger are currently being hosted in shady, outdoor settings to allow for our littlest guests (who cannot be vaccinated) to have lots of space to spread out and have fun.
For families who prefer to stay home, we have virtual programs that are cameras on for all participants and are not recorded.
For those who prefer even greater social distance right now, we have YouTube options as well.
