North Spokane

Children enjoy playing while learning during 30 minutes of reading entertaining picture books, singing songs, and learning fingerplays, followed by 30 minutes of activities that explore the concepts of math, science, art, and literacy.

Storytime is a place for parents and caregivers to interact and have fun playing with their children. You are your child’s first and most important teacher. To help you with this role, storytime introduces important literacy, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math), and social skills that children need for kindergarten and that you can continue to explore at home. Now is also a great time to get a library card for your child. It’s a gift they can enjoy for years to come.

Space in our libraries is limited. Please call ahead if your group has 10 or more people.

Stop in to ask questions, receive instruction, and work on your creative projects using our equipment.

Maker Open Hours will be unavailable for 1 hour around mid-session for a lunch break.
