Story Hour:
Valentines
For ages 3–5
3–5 year-olds and their grown-ups are invited to join us for an interactive Story Hour in a small group! This program lasts an hour, and features songs, stories, and hand rhymes in English.
This Story Hour will be hosted by Children’s and Teens’ Services Manager Celeste Rhoads, with the help of Library Intern Pallas-Amenah Morgan. 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 caregivers put away their phones and other devices for the duration of this program.
For this Story Hour, enjoy stories about Valentine’s Day and songs of friendship, such as The Night Before Valentine’s Day by Natasha Wing and Heidi Petach.
