Storytime @ HAPL
An important element of early literacy is reading aloud to small children. You cannot start too soon - even pre-verbal children love their books! There are several reasons why libraries make a priority of offering storytimes to preschool children.
But the best reason of all is that a great story read aloud is a pure pleasure, both to the teller and to the listener. A story shared by an enthusiastic reader and enriched with bright pictures generates shivers of anticipation and delight in the listeners, introducing them to the magic of worlds to be discovered in books. The Holdrege Area Public Library offers two sets of storytimes aimed at different age groups. Alphabet Soup - Wednesdays at 10:30 AM (3-5 year olds)Jingles and Rhymes - Tuesdays at 10:30 AM (18 mos to 3 years)If you unable to attend storytimes at the library, we also present storytimes at area preschools on a regular schedule.
