Children who can walk unassisted are asked to attend Toddler Storytime. There will be books, songs, rhymes, and fingerplays that will not only delight the little ones but also foster valuable early literacy skills. It’s a great opportunity for bonding and also meeting other children and caregivers in the community. *Online registration is required* Please note: Programs take place on the second floor. There is no elevator available, and stroller parking is VERY limited. Please consider wearing your baby in a carrier.
