Family Storytime: 24 Creative Programs for All Ages

Five Reasons to Invite the Whole Family to Storytime:

• Adults enjoy being read to (even if they may not admit it).
• Parents and caregivers learn techniques for reading to children at home.
• Parents network with each other, creating a sense of community in your library.
• Teens interested in drama, literature, or early childhood education can perform.
• It's more fun!

Author Rob Reid's highly participative, "family-tested" material is organized by theme, with each of the twenty-four programs running about thirty minutes. Included are songs, picture book suggestions, poems, fingerplays, as well as a "Mix and Match" section to help you customize new programs around the same theme.

Invite the whole family to the library and let the fun begin!
