Life with kids can be chaotic, demanding and messy, but it can also be joyful and full of wonderful moments, like attending storytime at the library or one of our community locations!
Our Outreach team offers storytimes at four community locations: Bolingbrook Historical Museum, IKEA, Chick-fil-A and Wholey Granoly. And this Spring, we are launching a new storytime at our Best Buy Bookmobile stop. That’s right! We’re having a storytime right on the Bookmobile! Our storytellers will give attendees a quick tour of the Bookmobile, then read stories with fun interactive elements like songs, puppets and fingerplays.
Community storytimes are best suited for children ages 2–6, but all children are welcome to attend. Children must be accompanied by an adult. For questions, please call Jaci Kohn at 630.685.4167.
