Story and Rhyme times

A list of our storytimes and other regular events for Under 5s

Under 5s storytimes.

Coming to a library story or rhyme session is a great way to meet other adults and children. Singing songs and listening to stories helps your child’s language, listening and concentration to develop and starts them on the road to love reading. So come along ready to join in and have fun!

Look, Say, Sing, Play

City of York Council has teamed up with the NSPCC, and partners across the city, to help parents and carers look, say, sing and play with their babies and toddlers, supporting their brain development. We use lots of the ideas they suggest as activities in our story times.

There is a webpage for parents to find out more and access resources at www.york.gov.uk/LSSP  The video of the launch of Look, Say, Sing, Play is available at www.facebook.com/cityofyork if you would like to see what it is all about.
