Storytime @ the Library!

*Each location of the Fort Smith Public Library offers an opportunity for young children and their caregivers to experience an interactive, literacy-based storytime. 

Storytimes feature stories, songs, puppetry, finger plays, manipulatives, flannel stories, and crafts. Not only is it fun, it's an excellent way for parents to interact with their children while helping them to build early literacy skills which lay the foundation for preparing children to learn to read.
