Reading Public Library

64 Middlesex Avenue, Reading, MA 01867 ~ 781-944-0840

Storytimes are loads of fun with puppets, rhymes, songs and stories. And the librarians design them to foster early literacy skills and encourage a love of books and the library. Vocabulary building, phonological awareness, print awareness, story structure and prediction, rhyme, parts of a book…..are all integral to storytime. Please join us for one of our storytimes; it's a fun way to engage your child with books and stories.
