Storytime @ Your Library

Start your child on the road to reading!

Join a free storytime program at your local library. Programs are available at the majority of public libraries throughout the province for children 3-5 years of age.

Storytime follows a standard routine across the province in order to facilitate oral language and early literacy and promote good reading and research habits early. A typical storytime hour at any library in the province runs an average of 30 minutes to an hour depending on special holiday storytime or if the library has included a craft for children. Storytime includes rhymes, stories, counting, singing, plays and puppets, dancing and friendship. Each storytime is geared toward providing children with the tools and skills essential to success.

Many libraries offer other children's programs as well, including seasonal programs and special events.

Check the Event Calendar for storytime dates and times or contact your local library.
