Come play with your baby! Did you know that storytime is beneficial for babies? Babies learn all of the sounds needed to speak by their first birthday. The more words the child is exposed to and stories read aloud, the better they develop their language skills. The movement and fingerplay activities assist them with their physical skills. Babies will increase their knowledge. Plus, it is more time for parent/grandparent to snuggle and cuddle their child.


Bring your baby to the library for a special storytime just for them. Enjoy stories, Mother Goose nursery rhymes, songs and fingerplays. Babies will have time to play with our baby toys. Parents and/or grandparents will have time to socialize and network. So come and partake in all of the fun with your little one!

In 2006, we created Jumpstart’s Read for the Record, an international campaign to bring preschool children together with valued grownups in their lives to read the same book, on the same day, in communities all over the world. In 2008, we broke our own world record as nearly 700,000 readers shared the classic children’s tale, Corduroy. On October 8, 2009, Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar was read aloud in classrooms, libraries and homes from Japan, Germany and Brazil to cities and rural communities across America. Hushed with wonder and tickled with giggles, children around the world simultaneously experienced the joy of reading. Stay tuned for updates about the number of children that read this year!


Here is a brillant video of the Very Hungry Caterpillar done in American Sign Language.
