Story Times and Special Events

The Palm Beach County Library offers a wide variety of story times and special events for children.

Listening to stories and participating in fingerplays, songs, crafts, and dramatic responses can broaden children’s experiences and stimulate creative thought. It offers an opportunity to develop socialization, language, and listening skills, and builds the foundations for reading.

Preregistration is required for all sessions, except Drop-Ins. Call the location nearest you for more information.
