Libraries It's Storytime at Manchester libraries

Storytimes for under 5s

  • Session times: weekdays in termtime
  • Age group: 0 to 4 years unless stated otherwise. Stories and songs for tiny tots.

Sharing a story with your child is a chance for you to relax and spend time together. It’s also a great way for your child to learn new words – even the youngest babies respond to songs, music and rhythm. Storytimes give parents and carers a way to make new friends and discover all that libraries have to offer. Check with your local library for details.
