Baby Storytime

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, 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!

Pasco County Library System offers Baby Storytimes @

Centennial Park Library
Wednesdays @ 11:30 a.m.

Hudson Regional Library
Thursdays @ 11:30 a.m.

Land O’ Lakes Library
Thursdays @ 11:30 a.m.

Regency Park Library
