Story Times for Children from Birth to Pre-K

York County Libraries offers story times across the county for young children ages birth to pre-K. With our interactive Story Time sessions at the library, children have a fun and educational time through interactive play, games, music, and more!

During these unique sessions, caregivers have the opportunity to get involved in assisting children with the activities, which can also be played at home for a fun family learning activity.

Baby Time

Literacy can be introduced to your child from before the day he or she was born. During Baby Time sessions, our librarians incorporate activities that encourage gross motor skills, pre-literacy skills, and social time for babies. 

 

Toddler Time

During Toddler Time, interactivity is a key component. Finger-play, early STEAM concepts, and hands-on activities and motions are incorporated into each one of these sessions to encourage gross motor skills.

 

Preschool Time

As with our other age groups, Preschool Time includes hands-on activities and crafts that assist with gaining fine motor skills. Not only are these sessions fun for your child, but they encourage essential social skills with other children.
