Story time?

bellevuebride07 · June 2011

Who has the best story time? We have been to Joseph Beth put it always is packed and too hectic and Leo has a hard time focusing on the story. I would like to try the library but we don't have a branch we really frequent. DH uses the downtown library but I'm not sure of the logistics of parking and getting two kids in there.

We love storytime at the main branch in Boone County. The one that is located on KY-18. Not sure if that is too far for you to drive.

Miss Marie is amazing and great with the kids. It's never too crowded with only around15-20 kids each week.

We haven't gone in a really long time since I became pregnant, but plan to start back up again when the twins can both sit on their own unassisted. I won't be able to hold both during the hour, so I will need them to at least be able to sit.

Katie LOVED it.

I think your best bet is just hitting a local branch of your library. I pretty much only go to the library for story time, so I don't think it matters if you're a regular or not. Not necessarily in your neck of the woods, but I've gone to the Union Township toddler time, and New Richmond's preschool story time and they've both been great. I'd bet Kentucky has several great options as well.

We go to the Kenton County branch in Independence. I'm not sure if that is too far for you or not. We love it and have been going since Lily was 4 months old. Ms. Janet is great with the kids. It's called Babes in Storyland or something like that and we sing songs with motions and she reads them a book. Then they play with toys for a few minutes. There is also toddler time which we will be starting once she turns two.

My MIL takes Maggie to the storytime at the Kenton County library in Erlanger. They have a great storytime, ( and she used to work in the children's department there) but they break for the summer.

My girlfriend who sells Usbourne books does a weekly story time at a Coffee Shop in Monroe. I would ask around the local coffee shops and check the bulletin boards to see if they have anything similar.

HTH!

Last summer we went to the Erlanger branch and Brady liked it, but he was still the youngest one and didn't totally get it when they'd sing/play instruments/all that jazz. I'm going to try it again now that he's older. They have storytime at 10 and then again at 11 on Tuesdays. I have a class this week, but I'm going to try to start next week. If you decide to try that one maybe we'll see you there!

I've gone to the story time at Ft.Thomas branch and the Cold Spring branch and both are good-- let me know if you are going to go to one of them and we can try and meet up! I know that they had taken a break from doing them for a few weeks for some reason but I think they are back up and running.

ETA: I know that they are doing Tot Time (18 months- 2.5 years old) tomorrow at 11am at the Cold Spring branch. If you go to https://www.cc-pl.org/ you can find the schedule of what happens what days. They also have Baby Time which is ages 0-2 so a broader range but might work with both kids.

I totally forgot about the nice Newport Library, and it's so close to us! I'm really a Cincinnati girl so I always forget about KY options. I think we will try out the 1030 class tomorrow if anyone is interested!

skyllingstadl - We've been going to Lap Time at the Fort Thomas branch. I think Mr. O is a little young for Baby Time (which is age one and up at Fort Thomas - super confusing). Maybe our paths will cross in the Fall!

bellevue - Let me know what you think of the Cold Spring program. That's close to us as well.
