Terrific Twos - for age two

In North Story Room

Especially for two year-olds, this storytime will include songs, stories, and fingerplays. Please register.

We understand that your child might be having a bad day. It is OK to step outside the room for a break. Feel free to come back.

*Please note – because of the storytime demand, if you are unable to attend the first week of storytime for any reason, and you do not communicate that absence to us, you will be moved to the wait list.  Also, if you miss two weeks in a row for any reason, and you do not communicate those absences to us, you will also be moved to the wait list.  Please call the Youth desk (847-429-4685) if you will be absent from storytime.  Thank you!
