Storytime

Visit any of our library branches to connect with us for a fun and interactive storytime. Storytime is a magical time for children of all ages and abilities to learn and interact with one another. Our library staff will share stories, songs, rhymes, fingerplays, and movement! Grown-ups will also learn some tips for engaging kids in early literacy.

Some storytimes will include a stay-and-play session following the program where the library will provide toys, puppets, learning and sensory activities for exploration and free play.

Central Park Library and Northside Branch Library are taking a storytime break August 1 - September 12.  Please check the Santa Clara City Library Event Calendar to see which storytimes are still happening during this time.
