TINY TOTS STORYTIME
EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 12:30 PM
VARIOUS LOCATIONS
At Tiny Tots storytime, children have a story read to them and then are given a free copy of that book to take home with them! Studies have shown that larger home libraries lead to a stronger desire to read–and a stronger desire to read leads to better academic performances.
We have Tiny Tots sessions at the Godeke, Groves, and Wolfforth Libraries; The Dream Center; and the Guadalupe Early Learning Center.
Please note, the Guadalupe Early Learning Center is only for students registered with that program. All other sessions are free to the public!
