Story Timers

 

STORY TIMERS is the Baltimore County Public Library's
Early Literacy Volunteer Program.

 

STORY TIMERS supports the needs of children, caregivers, parents, and the library's community by providing story times appropriately researched and modeled. Different types of story times are offered, and include baby story times geared to children birth to 23 months, and preschool story times for children two to five years of age.

 

STORY TIMERS volunteers serve in library branches, offer offsite outreach programs, and are the library's extension to the community. At times they serve as the first contact children and their families will have with the Baltimore County Public Library.

 

The Early Literacy Volunteer Program rigorously trains and mentors STORY TIMERS volunteers on how to provide developmentally appropriate stories and activities for young children.
