Preschool children will enjoy stories, games, and crafts during story time. Story time is held every-other Tuesday at 2:15 pm. Upcoming dates include June 18 (summer theme), July 2 (fireworks theme), and July 16 (moon theme).

Story time is free, no registration is required, and while it is best suited for toddlers, all are welcome. We don't expect that your preschooler will sit still or be quiet as these are skills that they are learning at this age. We will encourage these behaviors as appropriate.

Families can enjoy the Scandinavia Public Library's story walk in Jorgens Park Preserve. Located near the northeastern edge of Silver Lake in Scandinavia, the story walk is a 0.4-mile loop trail beginning east of the park's picnic pavilion. As families walk the trail, they will enjoy reading pages from a children's picture book that have been placed along the trail.

Combining literacy with outdoor activity, the story walk is a great way to enjoy some meaningful family-bonding time.
