Before you go

Three things that make storytime easier

AgesPick the right ageBaby storytimes are slower, with songs and lap rhymes. Toddler and preschool times add movement and longer books.
TimingArrive ten minutes earlyRooms can fill on busy mornings, and a few minutes to settle in helps little ones join in.
Sign upLook for “Sign up”A few storytimes ask you to register on the library calendar. Those are marked on this page.

The library calendar shows sign-up for three of the 55, 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 20, 2026, and we recheck them every month, and the weekly list every Thursday. How we choose and check.
