Join us for Preschool Story Time each Tuesday at 11:30 am where we will listen to stories, sing and dance, and do an occasional craft to explore creativity and also help build fine motor skills each week! Our program will be held in the children’s area of the Fairbanks Branch Library. This program is for children ages 3-6. Siblings are always welcome!

This program is provided in part by the generous support of the Friends of the Fairbanks Library.

Do you have a child in kindergarten through 3rd grade who loves stories—or one who could use a little extra reading support?

Reading Sessions begin: Mondays | 4:45 PM – 5:30 PM
