This program will be available Tuesdays and Thursdays via YouTube at https://bit.ly/2Yaurca

Join community librarians for songs, rhymes, stories and fun!

Experts agree that talking, singing, reading, writing and playing with your young child will prepare them for learning how to read, and will teach them the six skills needed to read. A child who enters kindergarten with a strong vocabulary, a love of books, and a familiarity with playing with words, has a definite advantage. You can help those skills develop with story time!
