Teeter Tots Storytime
2026-08-11 10:30 - 11:30 (America/Chicago) | West Fargo Public Library
Littles and their grown-ups are invited to this station-based storytime session for little ones 18 months through 3 years

Teeter Tots Storytime is a weekly storytime experience for those between the ages of 18 months to 3 years. This unique station-based storytime session is a simple and fun way to introduce your young, energetic toddler to important early literacy skills that will help them succeed later in life. If your child is a little too advanced for our Baby Boost Storytime, but not quite ready to join the “big kids” at Ready to Read, this special storytime might be perfect for your family.
Due to this program’s popularity, we host Teeter Tots Storytime on Tuesday and Thursday mornings during the summer months. Families are asked to please choose one session a week to allow other families to participate. Teeter Tots Storytimes is free and open to the public. No registration is required to participate.
