Ready to Read Storytime at the West Fargo Public Library is designed to help preschoolers (ages 3 – 5) build the skills they need to become confident, independent readers through fun, engaging activities that kids and their grown-ups can enjoy together.
Each week, we explore a theme through books, songs, movement, crafts, and play. These activities support important early literacy skills, while also encouraging social-emotional growth, creativity, and self-expression.
Ready to Read Storytime is more than just reading together. It’s about helping kids build routines, make connections, and see how stories are part of the bigger world around them. Join us in a safe, welcoming space where learning is joyful and every child can grow through play and discovery.
Ready to Read Storytime is free and open to the public. No registration is required to participate in these events.

The Shark is Broken
2026-04-25 19:30 - 21:00 | Stage West Studio, 300 Sheyenne Street, West Fargo, North Dakota, 58078
A comedic, behind-the-scenes look into the making of Jaws written by Joseph Nixon and Ian Shaw.
The historic first summer blockbuster movie is being filmed – but no one working on the film would know it. Dive deep into the tumultuous, murky waters of the making of a major motion picture with dueling co-stars, unpredictable weather and a shark prop whose constant breakdowns are looking like an omen for the future of the movie. The short tempers and short circuits of Jaws stars Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider take center stage as they bond, argue, drink, gamble and pray for an end to the film shoot, not knowing it will change their lives forever.
The Shark is Broken contains depictions of alcohol and smoking, and includes some strong language and mild adult themes.
Performed at: Stage West Studio (300 Sheyenne St Suite 120, West Fargo, ND 58078). General Admission tickets; first-come, first-served seating.
