Your children are welcome to wear diapers to this fun-filled StoryTime, but they may not want to after we read potty training stories, sing potty-time songs and see our diaper-less puppet friends!

Mother Goose Time at the North Branch

Bring your baby (or grandbaby!) to the North Branch Library this Friday, June 14 at 9:30am for our weekly Mother Goose Time classes. We encourage babies aged birth- 18 months and their caregivers to join us for stories, songs, and rhymes. Our atmosphere is welcoming and casual, so don’t hesitate to join us if you don’t know anyone else in the group or are running a few minutes late. Since babies learn through repetition and thrive in a secure, predictable environment, most of our program will remain the same throughout our 8-week Summer Session, with a few changes to each individual program.
