The Great Falls Public Library is excited to provide four Early Literacy Programs for children/families in the Great Falls Area.

Since September 2024, the Library has been offering advanced Bookworms Storytimes, a new Books and Babies program for children ages birth to 1.5 years old, and an additional Toddler Time on Saturdays.

The Bookworms Storytimes, geared for children ages 3 to 8, are on Tuesday mornings from 9:30 to 10:30 am in the Cordingley Room. This program for preschoolers and emerging readers K-2nd grade will feature more challenging songs and physical movement and longer stories to build attention span and vocabulary. It is perfect for homeschool families.

Regular Storytime will still take place on Wednesdays from 10:30 to 11:30 am, as well for children ages 3 to 5.

The Books and Babies events are held on Thursdays from 10:30 to 11:30 am in the Cordingley Room. Babies and their families are invited to join us for this fun, snuggly early literacy program for your littlest learners. Babies will enjoy lap bounce songs and a quick, engaging story followed by playtime.

The popular Toddler Time events are on Fridays from 10:30 to 11:15 am on Fridays, with 15 minutes afterward dedicated to playtime. Toddler Times are geared for children ages 1.5 to 3.

And finally, the FAMILY STORYTIME is on Saturdays from 11 am to noon! These storytimes are geared toward  Kids 0-8 years and their families and caregivers.

Each of these programs were made possible thanks to the passage of the Library Levy in 2023.
