Storytime Sets are designed for parents and children, in a storytime setting, to share a book together. Using Storytime Sets, your library can help parents lay a great foundation of pre-literacy skills.

Sets include 11 copies of one board book title (1 copy for the storytime leader to read aloud, 10 copies to pass out to caregivers to share with children), a folder with information for library staff and materials to copy and share with caregivers, and a plastic storage box.

Sharing board books with little ones.

Current Storytime Sets include:
