Story time is an excellent opportunity for parents to introduce young children to the library and the joy of reading. Story time is a great way to positively interact with your child, learn read-aloud techniques, and discover new books!
The library offers four 5-week story time sessions between September and May.
Pre-registration: Registration is required for Baby Tales and Toddler Tales. Parents may register (their child only) by contacting Miss Ellyn in person at the library or at 215-443-2609 x 206 (Miss Ellyn will respond to voicemail messages in the order that she receives them. Class/waitlist place is not confirmed until her reply). Due to the popularity of these classes, waitlists will be created and any registrants who miss 2 or more classes without contacting Miss Ellyn may be required to yield their space to accommodate a waitlisted child. If you are not sure which session is right for your child, please talk with Miss Ellyn to decide which program is the best fit for your child's age and developmental stage.
Please direct questions about story times to Children's Librarian Ellyn Benner at 215-443-2609, extension 204.
Baby Tales: a 30-minute lapsit story time for infants and babies not yet walking independently. A parent or caregiver should participate with the children in this session. This introduction to early literacy encourages interaction between adult and child through activities including short stories, rhymes, songs, and free playtime.
Toddler Tales: This 30-minute program is for toddlers ages 18 months to 2 years who are walking confidently, accompanied by a parent or caregiver. This quick-paced story time, designed for younger children with shorter attention spans, includes short stories, rhymes, and songs with rhythm instruments. Please arrive early since class begins promptly. No late-comers will be admitted to the room once class has begun. For their safety, please keep toddlers away from cabinets, furniture, and equipment in the room. No running in the room. If a child becomes unsettles during class, please teke them outside of the room until they are calm.
Pre-school Tales: this 30-40 minute program is for children between the ages of 3 and 5. The program focuses on stories with longer and more comples plots, songs, and may include a simple craft.
Twilight Tales this 30-40 minute story time is targeted to children ages 3 to 5 but all family members are welcome. This program features stories, songs, and may include a simple craft. Feel free to wear pajamas and bring your favorite stuffed animal!
Story time is an excellent opportunity for parents to introduce young children to the library and the joy of reading.
Parents benefit from storytimes, too! This is a good time to pick up some pointers. Watch how the librarian shares picture books with the children. Learn some of the songs and rhymes. Try these activities at home with your child! You will find that you will raise a child who likes books and reading, is curious and ready for learning.
Here are some guidelines to follow so that we can all make the most of storytime experiences.
