Event: Fayetteville Public Library: Baby Bookworms

Livestream Link

         Each Monday and Thursday at 9:45 am, the Fayetteville Public Library hosts an event called Baby Bookworms. It is a wonderful story time for infants ages birth to 24 months.  According to FPL, Baby Bookworms "recognizes the developmental needs and attention spans of the children this age. Parents/Caregivers interact with their babies through a variety of nursery rhymes, action rhymes, songs, and stories." This event allows your child maximum exposure to books and reading as early as possible and in a nurturing and playful environment. Even better, if you are unable to make it to the event, the library now has a live streaming feature. It enables you and your child to be a part of this reading experience in the comfort of your own home. This feature just recently became available at the start of the year and has been successful ever since. Through the link at the top of this post, you are easily able to add the live streaming time and date to your calendar, as well as watch the event when it's time. Participating is simple and convenient, whether you're actually at the library or just watching from a computer. Another great feature the Fayetteville Public Library offers is "Dial-A-Story" where the local librarians read to your children via telephone call. To participate, call 479-856-7200. 
        In addition to Baby Bookworms and the telephone option, the Public Library offers even more events to expose children to reading. More activities include Toddler Time, Preschool Storytime, and Elementary Storytime. Because these are routine events occurring on a weekly basis, it is easy to make reading time a priority in your child's life from a young age. The sacrifices parents make now to enhance literacy in their children will be well worth it in the end. 

          Baby Bookworms takes place in the Walker Community Room of the Public Library and sign up is not required. 401W Mountain Street - Fayetteville, AR 72701.
