Storytime Fun at the Library

The Marshall Public Library offers six Storytimes for children ages 0 to 5 years old. Storytimes emphasize the early literacy skills that each child will need to begin reading successfully.
Book Babies (with a parent) on Tuesdays at 10 a.m. for children 0 to 24 months is a twenty-minute program featuring rhymes, music, books, and action fingerplays. Terrific Twos (with a parent) on Thursdays at 11:30 a.m. is a twenty-minute program focusing on fun learning skills using books, music, rhyme, and interactive fingerplays. This program helps establish readiness skills to move on to Wednesday-Thursday Storytimes.
Wednesday-Thursday Storytime is for children 3 to 5 years old and focuses on fun books, rhyme, music, some crafts, and readiness skills to start kindergarten. You may choose to come on either Wednesdays or Thursdays at 10 a.m. or 1 p.m. The program is the same on both days. Also
included in Storytime are puppets, instruments, books on CDs, and a
special guest during holiday Storytimes.
The children of Pocatello and the surrounding areas make Storytimes at the Marshall Public Library a success! Come join the fun! (Storytimes are not scheduled in April but will resume in May.)
