Drop in and join us for stories, songs and fun at the Alder Street Library on Saturday mornings!

All ages are welcome.

Take part in this interactive program that has something for everyone. Sing songs, listen to stories and rhymes, and play games that encourage literacy and learning.

Join Erin on Tuesday or Thursday morning at 10:30 a.m. It will be the same storytime on both days so we can spread out in Storyland.

Talking, singing, reading and playing are the key skills and fun ways to help your child get ready to read. Developing early literacy skills makes it easier for children to learn to read once they begin school, and helps to foster a lifelong love of reading and learning. No registration is required.
