Last year she only took a break for the month of August. This year they had a new superintendent who forced her to take the entire summer off. She cried at the last session in May! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721744 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 17:08:19 +0000 Ra 1721744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I live in the city, so there are a ton of libraries close by. It is pretty easy to find a class any day of the week, except Sunday. The one closest to me has a Saturday afternoon slot. We also have two libraries that have "Storyville." It is a giant play area for kids set up like a little community with a grocery store, houses, reading areas, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721704 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 16:39:26 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1721704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: wow. Our library took a break for a month in May &amp; it sucked so bad, I would miss it so much if ours went on break that long </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721677 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 16:20:52 +0000 Andrea 1721677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots during the week and weekend. Less now that it is the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721671 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 16:19:16 +0000 Running Elley 1721671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yepp- there are tons! They also have a family craft night on Wednesday nights. We love our library!!</p> <p>All of the storytimes are on summer break June-September though. I really miss it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721295 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 14:10:48 +0000 T-Mom 1721295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our library has a bunch of story times but only during the weekdays so it doesn't work for us. But are participating in the summer reading club and my DD has already earned a book as a prize. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721237 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:54:55 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1721237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We have two local libraries. One has a storytime mid-morning during the week &amp; another one evening a week (like at 5 I think). Then the other has 3 different story times per week for the different ages, a Lego building program, weekly family movies plus a ton of things in the month of June for babies all the way up to middle school. I love the library </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721228 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:52:13 +0000 Dandelion 1721228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep. they do big free summer things for older kids, too. last week it was a marionette show, this week it's a jack and the beanstalk show. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721227 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:51:30 +0000 Bookish 1721227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but during the summer they don't have weekend ones :( I'm hoping to take G once they start back up in the fall.</p> <p>@blackbird: Yep. There are no programs available for babies/toddlers in my city that I can take her to right now, because apparently every working mom is a teacher who has summers off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721221 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:50:30 +0000 rattles 1721221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They do, and we love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721123 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:00:45 +0000 blackbird 1721123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure, but it's for parents without day jobs, apparently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721090 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:50:06 +0000 Adira 1721090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just discovered our local B&amp;N also has story time and on Sundays! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721040 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:34:00 +0000 fancyfunction 1721040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we go on weekday mornings. They also have a music program once a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721039 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:33:45 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1721039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes our library system has a ridiculous amount of them BUT they're all mid-morning during the week. We go in the summer when I'm off work and they're very fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721030 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:31:28 +0000 MamaCate 1721030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do have ones during the week and on Saturdays, which sounds less common than I would think. Now that it is do hot, we have been going every Saturday the last few weeks. They do a great job with the kids programming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721024 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:28:55 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 1721024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! There are so many options, including ones in languages other than English. </p> <p>When LO was younger we went all the time, but his naps started to interfere and now I've gotten out of the habit. I need to start going again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721006 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:24:29 +0000 Adira 1721006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as others - they do, but they're all during the day during the week so us working parents can't bring our kids. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1721003 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:22:43 +0000 PurplePeony 1721003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as what others have said -- they're all mid-day on weekdays so we can't go. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1720939 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:00:22 +0000 septca 1720939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - we have story time or a music class every day except Sunday, at most libraries in the city (there are 2-3 within walking distance of my house). Some libraries have more than 1 per day. Our nanny takes the girls at least 3-4 times per week now that they are one nap. </p> <p>I have, of course, never been since I'm usually at work at 10 am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1720936 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:58:50 +0000 yoursilverlining 1720936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes; but like others, it's only during the week. Apparently working parents don't have any interest in taking their LO's to the library on the weekend (sigh) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1720909 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:49:06 +0000 regberadaisy 1720909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but it's always during the workweek. The toddler programs are few and far between. It's annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1720880 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:40:06 +0000 mrsjyw 1720880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, but you have to sign up... and it's always during the work week :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1720879 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:38:58 +0000 sunny 1720879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I loved it when I was a SAHM. It was fun and I met other moms there too. I wish there were weekend ones for working parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1720853 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:26:06 +0000 looch 1720853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're on Friday morning, so my son can't attend, he has a standing appointment at that time.</p> <p>We do need to get to the library, badly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1720850 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:25:51 +0000 autumnlove 1720850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: ya, same! :-( no weekend programs here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1720849 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:25:14 +0000 travelgirl1 1720849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It does,but I found it quite stressful taking A once she could walk as she just wanted to run about and grab stuff rather than sit nicely and listen. I think we'll try again soon though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1720847 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:24:58 +0000 petunia354 1720847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! But they are all mid-morning so I can never take DS :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-local-library-offer-story-time-and-other-programs#post-1720841 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:22:29 +0000 autumnlove 1720841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH takes the LOs to toddler storytime and crafts class at the local library on Tuesday mornings. The librarians usually have theme weeks so the LOs learned about dogs yesterday.</p> <p>I take them to story &amp; music time at children's museum on the weekends. </p>
