Nighty Night Storytime – Thursdays

Drop-In Storytime on Wednesdays & Thursdays | 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

End your evening on a cozy note with our Nighty Night Storytime program! Every Wednesday and Thursday between 5:00 and 7:00 PM, you and your child are invited to drop by the library for a special read aloud storytime. Simply ask any of our staff in the Children’s Department, and they’ll be delighted to read a story to your little one. Your child can pick their favorite book, hop up on the couch, and enjoy a soothing tale before bedtime.

Please Note: This is a drop-in program and is subject to staff availability.

Why Read Aloud? Reading aloud to children is more than just a bedtime ritual—it’s a powerful way to foster their love for books and boost their development. Here are just a few benefits:

• Language Development: Listening to stories introduces children to new words and phrases, helping to expand their vocabulary and language skills.
• Imagination and Creativity: Storytime encourages kids to imagine new worlds and scenarios, sparking creativity and curiosity.
• Emotional Bonding: Sharing a story creates a special moment between the reader and the child, building emotional connections and a sense of security.
• Cognitive Growth: Regular exposure to stories aids in the development of comprehension skills, critical thinking, and an understanding of narrative structure.

Make Storytime a Part of Your Routine Whether you’re winding down from a busy day or just looking for a quiet moment to share with your child, our Nighty Night Storytime program offers the perfect opportunity to nurture their love of reading. Drop in, pick a book, and let us help you create a warm and memorable storytime experience.
