Through games, choral reading, drama, and crafts the children secure these languages and stories as their own.

These story hours are for the Spanish speaking, and the Spanish learning. Tamara also plans to incorporate a Spanish language Readers Theater this year for a very exciting program.

Bilingual story times are for children 8 years old and older and parents are encouraged to stay and participate too.
