The Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library is offering Storytime To Go kits.
These kits contain several common Storytime components including a shaker egg, a scarf, a beanbag, and bubbles. Also in the kit is a resource guide with information about how to have a successful Storytime and includes several Storytime songs.
“EVPL’s Storytimes are designed to provide a foundation for a child’s early literacy development,” said Lauren Vos-Wanner, EVPL Oaklyn Assistant Experience Manager. “With the Storytime To Go kits, little ones can explore reading, singing, talking, writing, and playing with their adult on their own schedule.”
Kits will be available at all eight EVPL locations and can be picked up through EVPL To Go, our contactless curbside pickup service, while supplies last – with kits being replenished throughout the year. Kits will be limited to one per family due to availability. Additional details about distribution at community events will be released later.
“We hope that caregivers will feel supported and empowered to incorporate early literacy skill development into their daily lives with our Storytime To Go kits,” said Erika Qualls Barnett, EVPL Programs & Outreach Manager. “We want every caregiver to feel comfortable and confident when creating a Storytime outside of a library environment.”
