Create your own storytime! We’ve made it easy to do storytime with your children at home or in your classroom. Choose from themed storytime plans crafted by our Youth Services Librarians. Each plan contains a list of books followed by links to storytime songs sung by our staff and ideas for crafts and other activities. Mix and match from this plan to create your perfect Storytime At Home! New plans will be added monthly. |
| Students in grades K-3 are invited to join Youth Services staff for Lit Lab, where books meet hands-on maker activities! Each Lit Lab includes a book read-aloud and related maker activity to do at home, plus a curated list of other books and media on the same theme, as well as ideas and resources for additional activities. We also encourage families to share their own inspired creations by sending photos to kids@princetonlibrary.org or tagging @princetonpl on Instagram or Twitter. A new Lit Lab episode will be released every second Saturday of the month and made available for on demand viewing whenever you like! |
