Ready to Read Storytime (ages 3 - 5) at West Fargo Public Library
2026-03-11 10:30 - 11:30 (America/Chicago) | West Fargo Public Library
Join us for this free Storytime hour for kids 3 – 5 and their adults, where we read, write, talk, play, sing, and create together to practice early literacy skills.

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.
