Storytime Kits
The purpose of the kits is to promote family literacy skill through
family storytimes. Each kit focuses on a theme, and includes stories,
activities, and equipment. In addition to the storytime items in
each kit, there is a program sheet. Consumable items that need to
be supplied by each user group are listed. Resource titles are listed
with each kit and books can be borrowed at or through member libraries.
Kit materials should be considered a resource, not a prescription.
Each librarian should use whatever kit materials are appropriate
for their group and should feel free to combine kit components with
other materials of their own choosing. The resource booklists include
titles of other activity books filled with appropriate activities
for this age group. Feel free to “experiment”!
