Babies (ages 0-24 months) and their caregivers are welcome to join Ms. Natalie on Wednesday mornings for a lapsit storytime consisting of bounces, fingerplays, songs, stories, open-ended play, and bubbles! No registration required. If you have questions about accessibility, program stimulation levels, and/or need disability accommodations, please contact us at (919) 560-8592.
Babies & Bubbles: Lapsit Storytime is a free weekly library program in Durham designed for infants, toddlers, and their caregivers. Led by Ms. Natalie, the session focuses on early literacy through gentle movement, fingerplays, short stories, and sensory bubble play. This program is designed specifically for children from birth to 24 months old. It takes place in the Southwest Meeting Room at the Southwest Regional Library, which offers plenty of free parking in the adjacent lot. You do not need to register in advance, making it easy to attend even if your morning routine runs behind schedule. If your child is sensitive to noise or crowds, you can call the branch ahead of time to ask about the expected stimulation levels. While this is a weekday morning event rather than a weekend activity, it is an excellent anchor for your Wednesday routine. It gives stay-at-home parents and caregivers a structured, cost-free outing to break up the week and helps babies build socialization skills in a calm, welcoming environment.
