Story Times
Winter Session: January 9 to March 1, 2012
Spring Session: April 2 to May 24, 2012
Markham Public Library’s storytimes highlight the 5 literacy practices that are the stepping stones to reading success. We'll introduce you and
your child to great children’s books and to activities that can be used at home to develop your child’s language and pre-reading skills.
Our storytimes are planned to be developmentally appropriate for different age groups with stories, songs and activities that match the age and attention span of the children. All storytimes are free and
there’s no need to register – just drop in and enjoy!
Storytimes run in 8 week sessions.
