Storytime is a powerful tool in helping young children develop their language skills, as well as learn new ones! The Library has enjoyed offering multilingual storytimes in the past, but we've had to suspend that programming, due to the pandemic.

This is just a small sample and you may find more searching YouTube for additional languages or providers.
The Library also provides other tools to support language learning:
Books, ebooks, and media: You can search our collection selecting from languages from A (Afrikaans) to Z (Zulu) in the advanced search in our catalog
Online book reading tools:
- Bookflix allows children to watch and read along paired fiction and nonfiction books in Spanish and English
- LOTE4Kids, opens a new window provides digital picture books in a variety of languages with English translations.
