West Fargo Public Library
Ready to Read Story Time takes place once each week. These sessions are for kids ages 3 – 5 and focus on language development, social skills, vocabulary, and creativity. In addition, children can gain early literacy skills through reading, talking, singing, writing, creating, and playing. And this also encourages an interest in independent learning and reading for kids.
Baby Boost Story Time is for children age 2 and younger and is also held weekly. These story times provide an opportunity for babies, toddlers, and their caregivers to interact together. Also, it helps foster emotional connections as they develop language and social skills, while creating positive connections with literacy, learning, and reading.
Teeter Tots Story Time is a new story time for little ones too young for Ready to Read Storytime, but too advanced for Baby Boost Story Time. See their website for current days/times.
For updated information, check out the West Fargo Public Library Facebook page and the Library Calendar.
