What to Expect
Bring your preschooler to a warm and welcoming story time designed specifically for children aged 3 to 5 years. These sessions focus on interactive activities such as singing, talking, reading, and playing together to strengthen early language and social skills. It's a wonderful way to make library visits a fun and regular part of your child's routine.
You'll also have the chance to connect with other parents and caregivers, sharing the joys and challenges of early childhood in a supportive environment. The sessions are lively yet relaxed, perfect for little ones to explore their love of stories and learning.
