Mt. Pleasant
Neighborhood Library

A story time experience for our youngest library users and their caregivers. These 20-to-30-minute story times introduce books, songs, rhymes, tickles and bounces developmentally appropriate for children from birth to when they start walking. Baby Lap Time is a wonderful way to introduce your child to the joys of reading in a positive and fun atmosphere. This story time is designed so the baby will be in their caregiver’s lap and the grownup is actively involved in the program; it is recommended that each child have their own adult with them.

Bring stories to life by reading aloud from scripts created from children’s books. Recommended for readers in grades 2-4.  Parent participation is welcome and encouraged.

Join us for a performance by Latin Grammy-winning performer Andrés. Andrés has a new instrument that he likes to play—but he doesn’t want to share it with Christina. Through this story Andrés, Christina and the audience learn about being friends, sharing and communicating our feelings. As always, 123 Andrés’ trademarks of movement, song and dance make this a high-energy, interactive family event.

As part of our DC Reads discussion of The Refugees by Viet Thanh Nguyen, the library will host a community conversation focused on the themes of immigration found in the book.
