A lapsit storytime designed for babies 11 months and younger

Expect an exciting mix of colorful board books, rhymes, soft songs, and American Sign Language, all tailored to support early language development while promoting developmental milestones like motor skills, social interaction, and auditory awareness. We provide a safe, inclusive environment where babies can wiggle, giggle, and enjoy each moment with you!

Storytime is a special bonding time for you and your child. We’ve created some guidelines to help ensure that your experience is safe and fun for everyone!


TO PREPARE FOR STORYTIME:
Bring your child to the library. Children who visit in advance and are familiar with their surroundings tend to be less apprehensive and more attentive.

Read to your child daily! Reading helps to provide early language and literacy skills, helps build memory with repetition, provides phonological awareness and listening skills, helps children develop a lifetime love of books, and so much more!


DAY OF STORYTIME:
Plan to arrive 10-15 minutes before storytime begins.
Arriving on time gives you a chance to socialize with others and ensures that you will be able to participate in all of the fun activities of the session. We also aim to minimize distractions and be respectful to the group.

Parent/Caregiver participation is essential to storytime success! Adults model good behavior for children by being attentive and listening to the stories and songs. Maximize your storytime experience by muting all devices and saving adult conversations until after story time.

Do not bring food to storytime. For the safety of the group and to minimize distractions, do not bring food to storytime. Breastfeeding and bottle feeding are welcomed.

If your child is not interested, it’s OK to step away and regroup. You can always try again a few minutes later or another day.
