About Storytimes
Storytimes provide the opportunity to bring together young children and books in a joyous, meaningful situation. Storytime is designed with purpose in mind. This purpose is to encourage a love of language and books, introduce first lessons in listening, help children develop basic social skills through cooperation with others in a group and provide an opportunity for parents to interact with their children in a happy, relaxed atmosphere.
Weather Policy
When Billerica Schools are cancelled or delayed due to weather conditions, daytime storytimes will be cancelled, even if the library remains open.
Schedule
Storytime for the season has ended.
Winter storytime will resume the week of January 27th with a new format.
Due to feedback and increased popularity, we are excited to announce our return to “registered” morning storytimes beginning in January. We believe this will create a storytime environment that is enjoyable, personalized, interactive and impactful.
All morning storytimes will now require registration. (Evening storytimes will not require registration).
Online registration will begin on Monday, January 6 at 9:00 a.m.
Patrons may only register his/her child for either session 1 or session 2.
Session 1 runs from the week of January 27th to the week of March 3rd.
Session 2 runs from the week of March 17th to the week of April 14th.
