About the event

Please join us on Fridays at 9:45 a.m. for special bonding time with your little one (ages 0-24 months)! At this lapsit-style storytime, we will spend about 20 minutes engaging in structured learning through bounces, rhymes, songs, and books, followed by 15-45 minutes of unstructured play and socialization time.

Note: A television is used during the first part of the program to display the words to the songs and rhymes (to support adult engagement); there are no moving pictures.

To celebrate 2026 Summer Reading and its theme, "Unearth a Story," we will be focusing on dinosaurs from June 12 - August 7, 2026.

All are welcome! If you have any accessibility questions or accommodation needs, please contact Chelsea at cromero@dconc.gov. We ask that all requests be made at least three (3) business days prior to the event to ensure we can provide the best accommodations possible!
