Storytimes at Newbury Park Library

 
Children's and Teens' programs at the Grant R. Brimhall Library and Newbury Park Branch are very popular. In order that all may enjoy them, we ask that you observe the following guidelines: Please follow the suggested age guidelines listed for each program. Storytimes are expressly designed for the age group listed.
  • We make every attempt to begin on time. As it can be distracting to the storyteller and children, please arrive on time for programs. We may not be able to accommodate latecomers.
  • No need to signup, just come and join the fun!  For more information, please ask the Children’s Help Desk, or call 449 2660, extension 213; or the Newbury Park Branch at 805-498-2139.

Share the excitement and love of reading.
