Afternoon Storytime

We are pleased to announce our new and improved afternoon storytime! The Library invites all children ages 5-8 to join us for afternoon storytelling adventures beginning January 26 at 3:30 p.m. in the library auditorium.

This structured hour aims to introduce quality literature to school aged children. Over the course of seven weeks we will not only read stories aloud, but also introduce a variety of story types including told stories, origami stories, cutting stories, and poems. Activities will include songs, crafts and dramatic play.

Participation in story time helps increase vocabulary and listening skills while children learn to participate as a member of a group. The benefits of a school-aged story program are that it introduces children to literature with increasingly complicated plots and sophisticated language, further developing their language and listening skills, and kids have fun while they learn!

The winter session will run Tuesdays, January 26th thru March 9th at 3:30 p.m. Registration is recommended, but not required. Parents are not required to attend and may choose to leave their child or stay and participate in the program, which will last approximately 1 hour.

For more information about storytime programs for toddlers and/or pre-schoolers, the Library, or any of our other services, please stop by, call, or visit our website http://www.sanmarinopl.org. We're more than the Internet!
