Story Time is a fun early literacy program for kids 5 and under at the Huntsville Public Library.  Join us for interactive stories, songs, rhymes, and crafts three times a week in the Staggs Community Room.  The early literacy practices featured each week help build the foundation for a lifelong love of reading and learning. Story Time offers caregivers and parents an opportunity to experience early literacy practices in action, discover great books and resources for home use, and socialize with other parents after Story Time.  There is something new each week!

Morning sessions are at 10:45 and evening sessions are at 5:30 p.m. January dates are as follows: January 7, 8, 10, 14, 15, 17, 21, 22, 24, 28, 29, and 31.
