3–5 year-olds and their grown-ups are invited to join us for our weekly interactive Wednesday Story Hour! This virtual program lasts 45 minutes and features songs, stories and hand rhymes in English, and is hosted by our children’s librarians and volunteers.

For this Story Hour, we’ll read stories (both factual and fictional) about time, space, and telling time, including The World in a Second by Isabel Martins, illustrated by Bernard Carvalho (translated from Portuguese).

This Story Hour will be hosted by Children’s and Teens’ Services Manager Celeste, along with volunteer Mary Wessels who will read books and lead you and your little one in songs and hand-rhymes during a live, interactive, virtual session. This participatory program is intended to encourage children to actively engage with stories. Plan to join in, sing along, and move around, as you would do in one of our in-person events. If you join in this virtual session, it will be as important as ever to model movement and song for your little one.

With your continued support, we are able to provide over 200 programs each year for ages 0-18. If you would like to support the Library, you can donate here to help sustain this vital institution in its 100th year of service.
