Story Time

Join River for Story Time! We'll read books, sing songs, watch a short movie, and make a craft! Story Time is best for children ages 3 - 5, but any child who can enjoy a picture book will enjoy Story Time.

The benefits of Story Time are limitless! Participating regularly in Story Time teaches children social skills, like how to listen, sit still, and be part of a group. It encourages early literacy by spending time reading and getting excited about books! Even singing songs together help develop phonological awareness (the ability to recognize and work with sounds in spoken language).

Event Details:

We respectfully request that you wear a mask for the duration of the program, to protect our smallest patrons, who cannot be vaccinated and often cannot wear masks.
