* Storytimes at the West Marin libraries vary by date. Please call your local branch or visit our website for specific dates.
Before your storytime visit, remember:
  • Storytime is free and reservations are not required but please arrive early to make a name tag.
  • Please respect our age limits.
  • If your child becomes restless, loud, or uncooperative, step outside the storytime area. We want everyone to be able to hear and concentrate during the program.
  • We want storytime to be fun! Plan to check out books afterwards and take the storytime experience home with you. Library staff will be happy to assist you.
