Questions

Where are the Storytimes held?
In the Meeting Room of the Athens-Limestone Public Library.

Do I need to register my child?
Yes, the room is small and we must limit the number children attending storytime. Our new storytime schedule will begin in August. Bring your child for registration on August 15th or 16th and fill-out a registration card. Please call if you have questions, but we are unable to take telephone registration for storytime.

Who can register for storytime?
Storytime is a free program for preschool age children (2-5) who live in Limestone County.

May siblings attend?
For 2 year old storytime babies are not a problem. However, due to limited space no strollers or baby carriers are allowed. Because the 3-5 year old storytime is for independent children younger siblings should not attend. This is an excellent time for caregivers to read to younger children in the main room of the library.

What about holidays?
The storytime calendar observes all school holidays.

What if I have more questions?
Telephone Paula Laurita at 232-1233.

Your own storytime brochure will reflect the particulars of your local library. Please feel free to adapt this brochure to meet your own needs.
