Our children's librarians love to share stories, rhymes and laughter at our Storytimes. Storytimes are held at all three of our library locations. We offer tiny tales, pajama (evening) storytimes, bilingual storytimes and more. Our storytimes are each tailored with age appropriate books and activities. You can choose to attend the program most convenient and appropriate for your family.⁠ Below is a list of our weekly stories, dates, times and age ranges. For the full schedule, GO HERE

Do you wonder how your donations to the Redwood City Library Foundation are used?

Recently the Foundation funded the purchase of new iPads to support the Bridging the Digital Divide and Makerspace initiatives. The Digital Divide initiative provides literacy tools, including devices and internet connectivity, to those who might not have access otherwise. Thirty new iPads were purchased to replace the current circulating iPads in the children's room of the Downtown Library. These iPads are pre-loaded with preschool appropriate applications and can be checked out for 3 weeks at a time.

Six iPads, purchased to support the Makerspace LEGO Robotics League, will be used for the new LEGO Robotics Camps at the Schaberg and Redwood Shores branch libraries. Kids can learn how to build and program robots with LEGO Spike Prime Robotics Kits in a free 4-week session. For more details, go here
