Help your child nurture a love of reading by attending one of our weekly story times.
Check the schedule below to find the story time that suits your family best. The schedule is for the week of Jan. 13 through the week of April 13. However, it is always best to search our calendar to make sure a story time hasn’t been cancelled for the date you are planning to attend.
If you can’t make it to the weekly story times, catch a free story every week on Touch Tone Tales. Call 859-572-5039 for free any time of day or night to hear a funny story. The stories are especially enjoyable for ages 4 and older.
Our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program is a great way to help families prepare their little ones for later reading success. The program is open to all children ages 0-5. Participants receive a reading log and incentives after every 100 books read.
Our story times are just a few of the children’s programs we have each week. Additional children’s programs, including those for children in grades 1-5, can be found below.
