The Moveable …
Marathon Library hosts a special program for the little ones (ages 2-5) featuring stories, songs, fingerplays, and simple crafts. Little Kids’ Story Time meets the first and third Fridays of each month from 10:30-11:15.
Children at a young age benefit from hearing stories read aloud and practicing language. This increases both their verbal and visual literacy skills, and prepares them for more formal schooling. Toddlers also practice socialization skills in community storytimes.
Little Kids’ Story Time is led by educator Jodie Delgado, who is also available to answer parents’ questions about early childhood literacy and reading with children.
