For our bedtime storytime, all 0-5 year-olds and their caregivers are welcome to join us at the Paul S. Sarbanes downtown library to share songs, rhymes, and stories together on the first and third Tuesdays of the month. Feel free to wear your pajamas as this will be a cozy storytime where you can wind down at the end of the day!

Studies have shown that singing aloud and sharing books aloud help your child's brain development and health. This half-hour program is designed to introduce young children and their families to foundational elements of literacy. Additionally, storytime will provide an opportunity for children and their caregivers to make new connections in their community and find new ways to play together. The program is free and does not require registration.

It focuses on mindfulness during activities and focusing on the task at hand. There is no “right way” to interact in a Montessori setting.
