Fall is starting to come to Indiana, so my coworker, C, and I are doing a bunch of storytimes on Fall topics. Last week I did the theme of Leaves since ours are just beginning to change. Later on in the storytime, I put in a little science by talking about why leaves change theirContinue reading “Storytime: Leaves!”

Storytime: Books & Libraries
As many in the library world know – September is Library Card Signup Month. I took our storytime this past week to let caregivers know and to do a storytime all about books and libraries in order to celebrate. At our library, we leave it up to the child’s grownup to decide when their childContinue reading “Storytime: Books & Libraries”
Storytime: Back to School
Summer Reading has been over for us for weeks and weeks and all our families are getting used to their new routines. Which means preschool and school for their kids! So, of course we had to do a “Back to School” theme. There’s always so much excitement and/or nervousness around this subject. I like toContinue reading “Storytime: Back to School”
Storytime: Camping!
Yay camping! Since I live in a smallish town in the midwest, it seems like a lot of our patrons are into camping. Still, there are always some families who have never been so this is a great theme to introduce kids to it or to celebrate fun times with kids who are already familiarContinue reading “Storytime: Camping!”

Storytime: Wishes and Dreams!
This is always a fun storytime and it’s so great to hear the wishes and dreams of our kids! Some of them are serious (such as what they want to grow up to be), some of them are silly (like what they’d wish for if they were granted wishes), and sometimes it’s simply that theyContinue reading “Storytime: Wishes and Dreams!”
Storytime: Moon!
I love watching the night sky, but especially the moon. When I was younger, very young, I used to talk to the moon as though it were my grandfather. I’m not sure exactly how I picked up this habit, but it stuck with me for quite a while. Even now, sometimes I look up toContinue reading “Storytime: Moon!”
Storytime: Spring!
If you know me, you know I’m not a fan of extreme temperatures. Because of that, my favorite seasons are Fall and Spring. But even ignoring the temperature thing, there’s just a certain smell, crispness, and feeling to those two seasons. It’s amazing and that’s one of the reasons I love them.
Storytime: Blankets!
This is a great theme for Fall or Winter and can be paired with the topic of “Cozy Things” or even something like knitting or stuffed animals. I like to do mine right around the time we have our first snow.
Storytime: Snow!
Ooook, we’ve had a couple snowfalls already this season, so I guess it’s time! As you might know, I don’t love the winter season, but the first few snowfalls are kind of beautiful and magical. So here are some of my favorite books and songs for a preschool snow storytime theme.
