Drop in anytime between 9:30-11 am to experience a new interactive approach to story time. Come with your little one (18 months to 5 years) to enjoy one or all of our six stations featuring a book and meaningful activity for you to share together. We’ll show you how to nurture all six of the key skills for reading readiness. Don’t worry if you don’t have time for all six stations; we will change only one a week to give your youngsters the benefits of repetition and you the advantage of being flexible with you time. This is a drop-in activity and does not require registration.
