Davenport Public Library Offers Story Time for Everyone!

A Great Activity to Share with the Grandchildren!

Beginning September 1, the Davenport Public Library will offer nine different story time sessions each week! Story times are vital to a child’s development because they teach verbal skills, coordination, socialization, and listening skills. The Library’s story times are planned with specific age groups in mind, with each session featuring age-appropriate songs, stories, fingerplays, and more. Story times are as much for the parents as they are for the child. Parents will learn tips and tricks on how to educate their kids by making reading fun and engaging. It is also an opportunity to talk with other parents and caregivers, as well as the librarians who can suggest age-appropriate materials available for check-out. Everyone in the Quad Cities is invited to Davenport Public Library’s numerous story time sessions:
