Storytimes
Join us for library storytimes! Beaverton City Library staff present age-appropriate stories, songs, rhymes, and more to encourage a love of books and reading in young children from birth through age 6. Storytimes are fun and will give you ideas for songs and rhymes you can use with your child at home. Parents are a young child's best teacher; we encourage you to read and sing with your child every day.
Storytimes are available in person at both library locations and virtually on Zoom.
Storytime videos are available on our YouTube channel any time.
