                                                                Want to do your own story time or S.T.E.A.M. project at home? Backpacks stocked with books and activities are now available for checkout. Craft items and activity sheets are yours to keep, please return the backpack with all materials marked “need to return” to the front Checkout desk. Please do not return backpacks in the Book Drops.

                                                                Story Time Backpacks

                                                                Story Time Backpack Themes

                                                                Reading, singing, playing, writing, and talking promote literacy and help you prepare your child for kindergarten. These story time backpacks include materials to support these activities.

                                                                We recommend alternating between stories, songs, and rhymes. Save the craft project for the end of your story time. Children love to hear their favorite songs and books over and over. Do not hesitate to add or repeat a book, song, or rhyme.

                                                                You will need to return the Story Time Back Pack and the materials that say “need to return.” You may keep the activity sheet and the craft materials.

                                                                Stop by the children’s desk for more books or ideas for your story time!
