Baby Lapsits introduce the rhythm and beauty of language to our youngest library users. Nursery rhymes, songs, and the simplest of stories build a foundation for a lifelong love of books and reading.

Preschool storytimes are built of picture books, fingerplays, songs, puppets, and occasionally crafts or games.
