“Mother Goose Storytime” Every Monday & Thursday, the Beverly Hills Public Library hosts Mother Goose Storytime, for ages 18 months and up A 20 minute story time followed by caregiver/child reading time. Featuring stories and songs. It’s FREE! No registration is required. Meets in Children’s Library Theater.
Storytime consists of learning rhymes and songs, reading age-appropriate books, and spending quality time with your children. Research has found that children learn to read best when the five practices of playing, talking, singing, writing, and reading are nurtured. There are many ways parents can begin helping their children learn even as babies. The storytime program is a really great opportunity for parents to see these simple practices modeled so they can do them at home.
Children learning at Storytime
We hope to inspire parents and caregivers to read, sing, play and share tickles and bounces throughout the day with their little ones because they recognize that it supports their baby’s healthy development–and because they’ve experienced firsthand just how fun it is at the library!
