Ages listed for storytimes are a general guideline as kids develop skills at different ages, particularly in these first years. If you have kids in more than one storytime age group, we’d recommend starting by attending the program for the younger child. Please visit with our youth services staff before or after a storytime program to determine the program that will best fit you and your kids. You can also email our youth services staff with additional questions.
