Join us for an hour of LOTE (Languages Other Than English) stories, songs, and craft. Storytimes are presented monthly in French, Japanese, Mandarin, and Spanish.

English speakers are welcome to join in the fun. Recommended for children ages 0 to 6.  
 
Storytime is very popular, so please arrive early to avoid disappointment. 

Each year we hold one special session for each language to celebrate an occasion special to that language or culture. These sessions include extra activities and snacks from the culture being celebrated.

LOTE Storytime is presented in partnership with Bilingual by Five and Le Toboggan.
