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.
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!
