Baby Lapsit Storytime

NYPL Webster Library · Upper East Side

This event will take place in person at the Webster Library. Join us for a special time to bond with your little one. We will explore the joys of movement, books, and songs, in addition to building early learning skills you can practice at home. Come prepared to sit with your child on your lap. Best for children who are pre-walkers or crawlers (0-18 months). To allow as many families as possible to participate, we ask families to choose between Baby Lapsit or Little Movers storytime each week. Please attend just ONE session each week of whichever program best matches your child's developmental stage. Please Note: First-come, first served. Limited to 15 children plus caregiver(s). Ticket required for entry. Tickets for the 11:15 program will be available in the Children's Room starting at 11 AM. Tickets for the 12:15 program will be available in the Children's Room starting at 12 PM. This program will take place on the third floor.
