Mondays are a great day to bring young children to Juneau’s public libraries. Toddler Time, which takes place at 10 a.m. at the Downtown Public Library and 11 a.m. at the Mendenhall Valley Public Library, is designed especially for those younger children who, due to age and inexperience with group storytimes, will benefit from a more intimate storytime experience at the library.

The half-hour program includes stories, games, songs, and activities that will help these children begin to be comfortable with a library storytime structure. Toddler Time accommodates for the expected exuberance, need to participate physically and vocally, the curiosity, shyness and shorter attention span of toddlers.
