Preschool Storytime
Tuesday Tales
Join us for Tuesday Tales at Swanton Public Library.
Storytime for preschoolers is held on Tuesdays at 10:45 AM and includes books, crafts, fingerplays, rhymes, movement, and more.
Children age 2 and under must be accompanied by a guardian.
Siblings are welcome to attend.
Why Storytime Matters
Storytime helps young children build the early skills they need before they begin school.
During storytime, children can:
-
Hear new words and build vocabulary
-
Practice listening and following directions
-
Develop attention and memory skills
-
Strengthen social skills with other children
-
Build confidence in a group setting
-
Explore music, movement, crafts, and creativity
-
Learn that books and reading are fun
For parents and caregivers, storytime is also a chance to connect with other families, discover new books, and pick up simple ideas for reading and learning at home.
