It is never too early to start reading to your child!  Delta County Libraries is committed to strengthening children’s literacy through library services and community advocacy.  Our Storytimes introduce children to the joy of reading through stories, activities, movement, music, and play. Children, ages 0-5, and their caretakers are invited to join us for weekly Storytimes and Play Groups.

Delta Library Storytime will not meet during the move to the new library building. Please visit one of our other locations for Storytime or Play Group.
