Morning Story Time Story Time for Preschoolers will begin Tues., September 9th from 10:15-11:00 a.m. Sessions are for children ages 3-5 who are toilet trained. Story Time promotes early literacy and Kindergarten readiness in young children through books, finger plays, music and more. Please be sure your child is ready for Story Time. These programs are specifically designed for children to attend on their own without adults/siblings. Each child is different and might not be up to the 45 minute program yet. We want this time to be a fun introduction to books and the library for all the children. Registration is REQUIRED by calling the library, stopping in to register, or on our website at mccombpl.org under the Services - Children & Youth Services tabs.
