Who It's For
The story time is designed for babies, toddlers, and their caregivers, and the play date is for babies and caregivers. The county doesn't list an exact age range, so if your child is on the older side of toddlerhood, ask the library whether this program or another storytime is a better fit.
Parents, grandparents, nannies, and other caregivers are all part of the program, since it's built for little ones and the grown-ups who bring them.
What to Expect
Based on the county's description, expect an early-literacy story time geared to the youngest listeners, then a relaxed half hour of play. Games and toys for the play date are provided, so you don't need to pack any.
It's also a great chance to meet other local parents and caregivers, which can mean a lot if you're new to the area.
Tips for Caregivers
- Plan around naps. With story time at 10:30 and the play date ending around 11:30, it fits nicely into a morning routine.
- Pack the basics: diapers, wipes, a bottle or snack, and a spare outfit, just in case.
- Don't stress about wiggles. It's in the name! Little ones aren't expected to sit perfectly still at a baby story time.
- Stay for a book or two. Pick up some board books to read at home before you leave.
