BENEFITS OF STORYTIME
Reading aloud to your child helps develop their reading skills long before they are able
to read. So how is library storytime different from reading to your children at home?
• Helps children develop a lifetime love of books, reading, and their local library
• Provides early language and literacy skills
• Extends reading experience with music and finger rhymes
• Helps build memory with repetition
• Introduces children to being part of a group and helps
with school readiness
• Introduces children and parents to books and library materials
• Gives parents and caregivers the opportunity to socialize
with one another
