Storytimes at Mid-Continent Libraries offer a variety of book related experiences for young children. They strive to be developmentally appropriate and can include picture book reading, storytelling, music, flannel board presentations, fingerplays, short videos and/or simple crafts. Use the information listed below to select the programs right for your children:
  • Baby Storytime (9-18 months) -- registration required and limited
  • Toddler Storytime (18-36 months) -- may require parental participation and registration
  • Preschool Storytime (3-5 years)
  • Family Storytime (all ages)

Please call ahead if you are planning to bring a group. Many branches offer special group programs.

I took my children one day that I had off from work to the Toddler Storytime and my oldest (18mo at the time) had a BLAST! She wasn't quite following along like the other kids but she was taking it all in! It's also a great way to network and meet other moms that have children your own age. Not to mention that this is a FREE activity! What better way to introduce your child to the wonderful world of literature and spark their imagination.
