This page is a smattering of all types of library programs I've been privileged enough to work on, or even kick-start.
For storytimes, I've had a lot of help from colleagues, as well as from some really good storytime blogs, and I will add those resources to the end of this page.
Hopefully there is something on this page that will inspire you, young sparrow, on your own journey to becoming a programming ninja! Bwa ha ha!

Family Storytime
My family storytime sessions are in the morning from 11:00 to 11:30, and is a free, drop-in session for all ages. These can be a bit tricky, especially because you never know what age the drop-in kids will be. But, it doesn't mean they're impossible to do. The trick is to have some books and activities for babies, for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-4), and for older kids. I've had kids up to age 11 attending the storytime session, and sometimes this is because the older ones are new immigrants and are coming to listen to simple English spoken aloud, and other times, it's because the kids just like coming to the storytime.
