Storytime programs return in September at North Olympic Library System (NOLS) locations. The free events continue through December 12. Storytime is geared toward ages 5 and under, and promotes early literacy skills and community building through engaging songs, rhymes and stories. Parents and caregivers can enjoy time with their child while building foundational skills for reading success. Learn more at NOLS.org/storytime.
