May is one of our 3 storytime break months.  In May youth staff  focus on getting ready for the summer reading program, and we visit all the schools to make sure everyone knows about the importance of summer reading.

It isn't quite the same, but our web branch offers storytime anytime, and this is a good time to check it out.  Go to the events page and notice the three links near the bottom.  Tumblebooks reads storybooks with a little animation.  There are over 300 hundred books and puzzles included.  Bookflix pairs over 100  (25 Spanish) picture book videos by Weston Woods with a related nonfiction title which is read without animation.  Bookflix also has puzzles, comprehension activities and web links.  The International Children's Digital Library offers over 4000 picture books in over 50 languages, but does not read them to you. 

Of course, we still hope to see you in the Library each week.  In fact, the Storytime Anytime links can be viewed on any Library Catalog/Database computer, as well as at home.

Have fun with Storytime Anytime, and comment here about your favorite way to "do" storytime at home.
