For this Story Hour, we’ll read contemporary classics and favorite stories. Each Story Hour program features short picture books such as Sometimes It’s Nice to be Alone written by Amy Hest and illustrated by Philip Stead, as well as songs and rhymes.

This Story Hour will be hosted by Children and Teens Services Manager Celeste Rhoads, and Children and Teens Services Intern Kelly Cummings. They will read books and lead you and your little one in songs and hand-rhymes during a live, interactive session. This participatory program is intended to encourage children to actively engage with stories. Plan to join in, sing along, and move around, and model movement and listening for your little one. We ask that all caregivers put away their phones and other electronic devices for the duration of this program.
