Early Literacy Storytimes
Storytimes are for babies, toddlers, and children up to age 5. The Children's Library offers other programs for children up to age 12.
Registered Storytimes

Parents/caregivers may register online during the specified registration period. Each child can participate in one registered program per session. Registration is a lottery.
Storytime Lottery FAQs
Yes, patrons need a library card on file to register for the Storytime Lottery.
Please select only one class type when registering. For example, please register for either Born to Read or All Together now.
