About Story Hour and Toddler Time

Story Hour sessions
last 45 minutes

 Toddler Time sessions
last 30 minutes.


 We want this to be a positive experience
for you and your child,
to inspire the
joy of reading.

Children who love to read at an early age are better prepared when they start school.

This is a great opportunity for both parents and children
to socialize!

Any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

  • I plan each Story Hour/Toddler Time session around a theme.

  • Any story, fingerplay, poem, or felt story used is also based on this theme.

  • We open and close with a song and these same songs are repeated each week.

  • I include in each session a craft that relates to one of the stories or to the theme in general. 

  • Children make a craft at every session.

For more information:
Please check the Story Hour Bulletin Board in the Children's Room (end of 1st aisle, near the windows, facing the Picture Books.) Weekly Story Hour/Toddler Time themes and other events will be posted there.

For Story Hour/Toddler Time

  • Caregivers must accompany the child during Toddler Time and oversee the child's behavior.

  • All toys should be left upstairs with a caregiver.

  • No food or drink can be brought to the session (although we sometimes provide snacks along with the theme of the event).

  • If possible, have your child use the restroom before the session.

Parents and Caregivers

  • I prefer that parents remain at the library to be available for their child. If you do need to leave, please let me know and be sure to make arrangements with your child.

  • If your child (or child’s sibling) is sick and you cannot attend Story Hour/Toddler Time, you do not need to call.

  • However, if you will not be returning to Story Hour/Toddler Time at all, for whatever reason, we ask that you call to let us know.

Our Cancellation Policy

  • We will not meet during Scituate school vacations.

  • We will cancel due to inclement weather whenever schools are closed, even if the library opens.
