Ignite your Child's Mind!

Mark your calendars each Thursday during the school year for Early Learning Storytime at the Colfax Library!

Storytime at the Colfax branch is divided into three age groups:

• baby time for ages 0-2 from 10:10-10:30 a.m. 
• toddler time for ages 2-3 from 10:30-11:00 a.m.
• preschool time for ages 4 & Up from 11:00-11:30 a.m. 

Early Learning Storytime at the Colfax Library is a FREE program that offers a valuable listening and pre-reading experience for children birth to age 5. Children, parents/caregivers will enjoy engaging stories and participate in imaginative activities that include songs, fingerplays, action activities, crafts, puppets, and more each Thursday (unless library closed). Storytime promotes reading readiness through stories, sharing, rhymes, and songs children acquire information as well as an appreciation for the written word and fine illustration.

Storytime allows each child time to share stories and to express him or herself. At Storytime, children participate in a variety of imaginative activities that include finger plays, games, crafts, puppets, and creative dramatics. These activities help promote cognitive development and reading readiness along with maximizing the critical years in a child’s brain development.

Don't Forget about Play & Learn Fridays at the library, every Friday morning 10:00-11:30 am
