Please join us for a storytime designed to promote early literacy skills through interactive stories, songs, games, and other fun activities! While content is geared toward preschoolers (ages 3-5 years), all are welcome to join in on the fun! The program runs for about 25 minutes, and families are invited to stay afterward for open play and socialization time. Open for all! This program has a mix of sensory elements, some high energy (e.g. singing and moving) and some low energy (e.g. listening quietly to stories). If you have any accessibility questions or accommodation needs, please email Molly at mschaefer@dconc.gov. We ask that all requests be made at least three (3) business days prior to the event to ensure we can provide the best accommodations possible! Thank you!

Storytime with Ms. Molly is a free, interactive library program in Durham that combines reading, music, and movement for young children. This twenty-five minute session is designed for children ages three to five, though younger siblings are welcome to attend. The library staff mixes quiet listening periods with high-energy movement, making it easier for active toddlers to stay focused. You do not need to register in advance, and there is plenty of free parking in the regional library lot. Plan to stay after the stories end, as the room remains open for unstructured play and socialization. It is a simple, low-stress outing to add to your weekly routine, especially if you want your child to practice group listening skills before starting kindergarten.

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.
