For this Story Hour, we’ll read stories about friends—making them and keeping them. Each Story Hour program features short picture books such as My Best Friend by Julie Fogliano and Jillian Tamaki, as well as songs and rhymes.

This Story Hour will be hosted by Children and Teens Services Manager Celeste Rhoads, Children and Teens Services Intern Kelly Cummings, and Visiting Librarian Libby Molina. 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.
