Storytimes
|
|
Staff share their love of books and reinforce early literacy skills through stories, songs, and fingerplays in a small group setting.  Storytimes are wonderful opportunities for children to learn to enjoy books and group activities. Please check calendar for specific beginning and ending dates.
- All storytimes are free, open to the public, and no registration is required except for Mother Goose Time at Harmony.
- Storytimes start promptly on schedule. Allow extra time for parking and getting nametags.
- Please honor age limits for each storytime. (Exceptions: Younger siblings are welcome at 2 & 3 year old storytimes. Older children are welcome at any of the storytimes.)
- Please refrain from bringing food and beverage into storytime.
- If children in your care become disruptive, please remove them until they are comfortable and ready to listen.
- For information on how home daycare groups may attend storytimes, please call 221-6680.
The Fort Collins Regional Library District will make reasonable accommodations for access to District services, programs, and activities and will make special communication arrangements for persons with disabilities. Please call 221-6680 for assistance.
