Join Michael, Octavia Field Library Branch's Children's Librarian, for an hour of nursery rhymes, storytelling, arts & crafts and playtime. We'll talk, sing, write, read and play, and your toddler age kiddos will have so much fun that they won't even realize they are gaining valuable pre-literacy skills. Ages 0-5.
Children, ages 2 to 5, are invited to join us at the Maud Marks Library for Bilingual Storytime on Wednesday, April 8, at 11:15 AM. There will be songs, stories, and activities in Spanish and English for children and their families.

Tales for Tots is a hands-on early literacy program for toddlers aged 24 months to 3 years, focusing on parent-child interactions. Each week is packed with fun as we sing, talk, read, and play, our way through exciting stories, catchy songs, wiggle-worthy movement, creative crafts, and more. A fun and engaging way to develop early literacy skills while making new friends!
How to Attend We want to ensure a positive experience for everyone, but we need your help.
Join us for a special Spring Stuffy Sleepover at the Barbara Bush Branch Library where one of your stuffies will spend the night at the library!
Say goodnight to them during this Drop-Off Storytime and pick them up the next day. The Children's Librarians will tuck them for their night away and keep them safe. How much mischief could they possibly get into at the quiet library?
After a long night at the library making new friends, you can pick up your stuffy anytime on Friday, March 20th.
For the month of April, we will combine our toddler story time with our Family Place Parent Child Workshop! Each week we will introduce an early childhood topic with a story and fingerplay. A community expert in each topic will be on hand for one-on-one time with parents while the children will have extra toys and playtime. Topics include: Early Literacy, Nutrition, Developmental Milestones, Speech and Language Development, and Movement. Check with the Crosby Library for the schedule and list of community experts.
Join us every Wednesday at 10:30 am for songs, stories and fingerplays designed to develop your child's early literacy skills. Plus there is plenty of time for the children to play and for caregivers to socialize. Fun for toddlers and their caregivers!
