Before you go

Three things that make storytime easier

TimingArrive 10 minutes earlyPopular storytimes fill the room. Early gets you a spot on the rug and a calm start.

StrollerPark the stroller outsideMany rooms have a stroller spot by the door. A baby carrier helps with wiggly babies.

AfterStay and borrowStorytime usually ends near the picture books. Grab this week’s favorites on the way out.

The library calendar shows sign-up for 54 of the 133, marked “Sign up” below. The rest don’t list registration on the calendar. Check the event page before you go.

Each storytime comes from the library system’s own event calendar: the same storytime at the same branch, weekday and time on at least three dates in four weeks. We only list a date, time or price when that page shows it, and anything we can’t confirm stays off. These were last checked Oct 28, 2026, and we recheck them every month, and the weekly list every Thursday. How we choose and check.
