This drop in story time is designed for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers together with their caretakers. We share simple books, songs, finger plays, and rhythm instruments with a bit of sign language here and there. We always end with bubbles! To see a flyer summarizing story times for various ages of children, click here.

Board Books & Bubbles is very interactive and structured, with all adults helping the children connect with the books and songs. Please plan to sing, talk, and engage with your child as we all teach them and model how storytimes work and how the stories connect with things in their daily lives. We repeat songs for a month but the books will be new each week. Often but not always, our books match the Toddler Time theme. We always end by cleaning up our rhythm instruments and then bringing out the bubbles. At the close, we all count down from 10 and then wave goodbye to the bubbles.

• Children under 3 years old: Caregivers must remain in the room. Children 3 & over: Caregivers MUST remain in the library.
• Children attend Preschool Solo Time independently while caregivers relax nearby. We introduce classroom skills and independence using our familiar story time format. Children often need a gradual approach to attending solo. You may want to start by attending Friday’s Books & Bubbles together, then watching a Solo Storytime or two through the door. Repeat as needed if the child is nervous.
