I would like to take my child to the library storytimes, but I work during the day. Are there any in the evenings?
Many libraries branches have storytimes for young children ranging in age from newborns to 6 years old. Most storytimes are in the morning, but a few are scheduled for afternoons and evenings.
The Martin Regional Library has an evening storytime for 3 to 5 year olds on Monday evening from 6:30 to 7:00pm. They also have a Spanish Storytime that meets Wednesday evenings from 5:30 to 6:00pm.
For additional information about children’s programming consult the Library’s Event Guide. The event guide is available at all TCCL locations as well as online. In the online event guide, click on Advanced Search and use ‘Storytime’ (one word) in the keyword field.
