Toddler Storytime

Sherwood Public Library22560 SW Pine St

Welcome toddlers 12 months – 36 months and their caregivers!

Attending Toddler Storytime is a great way to build the bond between child and adult.

In this program you and your toddler will sing songs, play action rhymes, and grow together with books.

20 minutes of playtime for kids and conversation time for adults follows each session.

This is the fall session of this program and it runs September 15 – December 15, 2026.

Toddler Storytime takes a break December 22 and January 5.

Arrive anytime between 10:15 a.m. – 11:00a.m. to enjoy this program.

We understand how difficult it is to be punctual with a toddler. If you can’t make it to storytime, playtime is just as beneficial as the storytime!
