Story time is a family favorite and I am sure it is in your home too! Did you know that there are free story time locations in Reno and surrounding areas offered to local residents?

Check out these recurring story time locations. We’ve included the location, days, time, and type of storytime offered.

Sign Up Your Child for Their Own Library Card
Plus if you attend storytime with your kids at a local public library don’t forget to sign them up for a library card! It’s free and there are a lot of bonus perks that come with owning a library card.
A library card under a child’s name or an educator does not incur any late fees.

Yeah, you heard that right. No worrying about all of those misplaced books due last week that you just can’t seem to find. If you check them out under your adult library card, though, beware of those fees.
In addition, if you have a library card, you can gain access to a few apps like Libby and even the kid’s version called Tumblebooks . Tumblebooks offers audiobooks, picture books and even chapter books for early readers!
