story times for kids in St. Louis

Storytime in the Commons is back for another season of fun character visits and outdoor storytimes. At this storytime, explore the fascinating world of science and nature. At Storytime in the Commons: Be My Neighbor Day, kids will learn about being a caring neighbor, meet neighborhood helpers from the St. Louis Public Library and St. Louis Fire Department, and have the opportunity to get their picture taken with Daniel Tiger and Miss Elaina from the PBS Kids series, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood.

Your kids can enjoy a nature-themed story, a wildlife walk, and create a craft using nature's art supplies at the Nature Tots Storybook Hour.

The Butterfly House becomes The BOOterfly House in October to celebrate all things creepy and crawly. Kids can hang out with Professor Von Flytrap and his friends in the Creepy Crawly Cave and have lots of hair-raising fun.

This new storytime includes stories, songs and other fun activities to help develop early literacy skills and get kids excited about potty training. 

In honor of Women's History Month, kids can participate in Girl Power Story Time, a virtual program that includes stories, songs, and activities featuring strong females.

Children will explore the nature around them as they participate in a story time scavenger hunt and complete a nature hunt at Oak Tree Park in Brentwood. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about nature while engaging in fun activities with their peers. 

Join in to Virtual Story Time presented by the St. Louis County Library as they welcome author and illustrator Christian Robinson, author of You Matter.
