Story Time Happenings Around Champaign-Urbana

January 28, 2020 By From The Editors

Depending on the season, it is estimated that Champaign-Urbana and surrounding communities offer upwards of 20 story times each week

 

Particularly for infants, toddlers and preschoolers, story time is a great time to socialize with other caregivers and build a foundational love of reading

If you have a young child of any age, you have likely walked into one of the wonderful story time events happening around Champaign-Urbana. They happen in local libraries and book stores year-round, with other special events happening seasonally around the holidays or during the summer time … story time on the farm, anyone?

Week in and week out we certainly have an abundance of story times to choose from. Often broken up by age (baby, toddler, preschooler or “all ages”), there are sensory-friendly story times, specific book series-themed story times, and evening story times ideal for families with parents who work during the day.

Parents love having something (free!) on the calendar to visit each week and kids love the engaging programming and chance to play with other kids. You can foster a love of reading early on and find something to fit nearly every family’s schedule.

Two of the most prominent locations featuring recurring story times are the Champaign Public Library and the Urbana Free Library. See them pop up again day after day and week after week as they faithfully run well-attended programs that many area families with young kids love. Those are just two locations; find the location and time that works best for you on our list below.
