Storytime
Norelius Community Library has three regular Storytime programs that run year-long, with a break in May and August:
- My First Storytime is aimed at children ages 1-3 and is held on Wednesday mornings at 10 am. An emphasis is placed on early language development by reading stories, engaging in fun rhymes, and singing songs. Repetition is important for language development, so many of the elements are repeated throughout each month, but no two storytimes are the same! A simple craft or extension activity is offered after every session. Older children are also welcome to attend, but the structure of the program is designed for babies and toddlers.
- Family Storytime is held on the second Saturday of every month at 10 am. This is the perfect storytime for pre-school and school age children as it is aimed at an older audience. Children of all ages and their caregivers will enjoy reading stories, doing rhymes and fingerplays, singing songs, and crafting.
- Cuentos Para Niños is our once-monthly bilingual storytime, held at 10 am on the fourth Saturday of every month. Stories are presented in both English and Spanish along with traditional kids' songs in both languages. A craft or activity is available after each storytime.
