Storytime introduces young children to
reading and books.
Each week, our trained library staff and volunteers share stories, songs, and finger-play activities geared to certain ages. Parents learn how to foster six early literacy skills that are critical for preparing their children to read and write. These skills are:
- Knowing how to handle a book
- Hearing beginning sounds
- Knowing letters are different from each other
- Retelling stories and events
- Introducing new words
- Showing a joy of and interest in reading books
