Story Times

Babygarten Story Time

Suggested for Ages 0 - 2

We welcome parents and caregivers of infants and toddlers to come sing songs, and popular nursery rhymes, together!
A simple story geared towards the children's age group will be read aloud.

Physical interaction is extremely important in the early stages of child development, and this story time not only encourages adult/child interaction, but also builds the healthy habit of reading aloud to your child.

Due to the short attention spans of this young age group, this story time will last about 20 minutes, with time for caregivers to socialize together afterwards while children play with toys that are provided.

Babygarten Story Time will be held on Tuesdays at 10:30 AM.

If Story Time should move to virtual/online for any reason, then we will screen it on our private FB Group Page:

Longview Public Library Online Programs and Events.

Videos will remain available for viewing for as long as publishers allow, so watch when you have the chance!

This story time lasts about 30 minutes.
