story times

Sensory Friendly Storytime at the APA includes storytime and pet interaction for the littlest learners with accommodations for children who thrive in a calm setting. 

Bring a blanket and join the St. Louis Public Library for outdoor storytime in Tower Grove Park in conjunction with the Saturday morning Farmer's Market. Meet near the south playground.

New City School hosts this free, virtual storytime featuring stories and songs with Heidi Kehle, one of New City School's preschool teachers. Stories and activities are designed for children from infant/toddler through 2nd grade. 

Visit the Animal Protective Association (APA) of Missouri for a free story time for preschoolers and help foster their love of animals. Kids will learn about caring for our four-legged friends as well as be entertained by fun stories and make a craft. They'll even meet a furry friend! Geared to ages 2-5.

Young visitors and their families are invited to the Energy Stage to enjoy interactive read-alouds of science-themed picture books. Story times are followed by a short demonstration or discussion connected to the book's main concepts. 

Have a roaring good time at Dino-Nite at The Magic House! Open exclusively for 15 families per evening, Dino-Nite features private playtime throughout the museum including Dinosaur Train: The Traveling Exhibit, a private visit with Buddy, the star of Dinosaur Train, plus a delicious pizza and dessert fit for a dinosaur appetite for your family to enjoy during this special evening. 

Engage in a virtual read-a-long brought to you by The Wilson School. You'll expand your home library with a new book each time, and enjoy an activity and snack afterwards. These virtual story times are free and are designed for blooming readers ages 3-6.
