The series is continuing with a monthly stop at Magical Bridge Playground on the 4th Tuesday of the month - go here for more information. Our other in-person storytime is Storytime Outside the Library on Thursdays at 10am in Downtown Library's Roselli Park. Bring a blanket and your little ones and see you there!

As for recorded stories, you can tune in to Stories From Your Community on Tuesdays at 11am or find the whole series here. This week features Redwood City camp leaders reading stories about summer camp, being outdoors and vacation.⁠ As for Stories and Play, during the month of August we are taking a break from new recordings.
