Storytimes
Storytime is a free activity designed to promote social learning and early literacy skills. In addition to reading along with a friendly librarian, children sing songs, perform playful dance moves and hand gestures, and work on crafts. Some programs also include short movies and snacks.
Here is an overview of the different storytimes offered at JCPL. For dates and times, check our calendar of events.
