Please join us for special bonding time with your little one (aged 0-24 months)! At this lapsit-style storytime, we will spend about 20 minutes engaging in structured learning through bounces, rhymes, songs, and books, followed by 15-45 minutes of unstructured play and socialization time. Note: A television is used during the first part of the program (about 20 minutes) to display the words to the songs and rhymes (to support adult engagement); there are no moving pictures. This program will be held on September 25, 2026, at 9:45 a.m. at North Regional Library. The address is 221 Milton Rd. Durham, NC 27712. Open for all!

Book Babies is a free, interactive library program designed for infants and toddlers up to two years old. The session starts with twenty minutes of structured songs, rhymes, and short stories, followed by open play and socialization time for the children and their caregivers. This event takes place in the meeting room at the North Regional Library on Milton Road in Durham. There is no cost to attend, and registration is not required. The library has a dedicated parking lot with plenty of spaces, and you should bring a small blanket for your baby to sit on during the floor activities. Note that the staff uses a screen to display song lyrics for parents, but it only shows static text rather than moving cartoons. It is an easy, low-pressure addition to your Friday morning routine. The mix of structured learning and open play lets your child burn some energy while you connect with other families in the neighborhood.

A Raleigh mom walks through all eight expiration dates, how to apply at any point in the year, the CEP sibling gap that catches families with kids at two schools, and what meals actually cost.
