Children's Storytime

The Fargo Public Library has several storytimes available for families and caregivers where staff share their love of books and reinforce early literacy skills. Through the use of age-appropriate stories, songs, and fingerplays in a group setting, staff also help parents and caregivers learn how to foster early literacy skills to prepare their children for learning to read.

Baby Rhyme Time lapsit storytimes are held twice a month for babies from birth to 18 months.

The Winter 2024 Storytime season for toddlers and preschoolers runs from Jan. 22-April 17. All times are open to children ages 2-6. Pre-registration is not required.

Main Library: Mondays at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m.
Northport Branch: Tuesdays at 10 a.m.
Dr. James Carlson Library: Wednesdays at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m.
