Books Are Windows Story Window Storytime Blog: General Discussion

Peek inside for storytime ideas! Wilmette Librarians share suggestions for age-appropriate books, rhymes, songs, and crafts.

July 7, 2006

Welcome to Story Window

"What happens in storytime stays in storytime."

Just kidding. That's not a rule, and we don't want it to be the reality. Storytime is not a secret club whose rituals are privy only to preschoolers! We know that working moms and dads, caregivers, and other librarians may want to know what we're doing in that brightly painted room with the colorful carpet.

We've started this storytime blog as a means of communicating with families about what their children are doing and learning in storytime. What books are we reading? What songs are we singing? What early literacy skills are we working on?

We also see the potential for idea-sharing with youth librarians and other folk who work in early childhood education.

By all means, please leave comments or questions. We will begin blogging about our storytimes over the summer, gearing up for our regular storytime season this fall. Peek in whenever you like!
