PORT ANGELES — The North Olympic Library System will offer Storytime early learning sessions this fall.
Storytime is geared toward children 5 and younger with activities such as talking, reading, playing and singing — all of which have an important role in early childhood development.
Kids and caregivers can listen to books, learn new songs and shake out the wiggles with plenty of movement and fun.
The North Olympic Library System will offer Storytime weekly in Forks, Port Angeles and Sequim and monthly in Clallam Bay.
A full schedule is posted at www.nols.org/storytime.
