Through the use of age-appropriate stories, songs, and fingerplays in a group setting, staff help you learn how to foster early literacy skills that prepare your children to learn to read. Family Storytimes are for children ages 18 months to 6 years. Pre-registration is required. Register online or call Children's Services at 701.241.1495.
