Story Time Programs
Glocester Libraries offer preschool story time programs to help your child develop skills that are fundamental building blocks for school readiness. These include positive early literacy experiences, fine and gross motor skills, phonological awareness, social skills, and navigation through the 8 domains of Rhode Island's Early Learning Standards. Join Miss Pat for our Baby Story Time and Miss Ann for the Toddler Story Time and for the Preschool Story Time programs. They are fun, interactive, and creative story times that will delight and encourage your child to be ready for school.
Registration is required. Preference is given to Glocester residents.
*There will be no Story Time when school has been cancelled for inclement weather.
