What's going on at the library.: Skate-n-Stories is back!

New site for early learning resources and ideas!

The great part is there are videos that show experienced storytime staff sharing a simple early literacy activity and modeling sharing a parent tip that goes with it. It's aimed at library staff who are new to doing storytimes, and yet, so useful for childcare providers and parents.

Story Blocks

The Colorado State Library announced the launch of STORY BLOCKS an online video collection featuring one-minute songs and rhymes for babies, toddlers and preschool children in both English and Spanish. Filmed in partnership with Rocky Mountain PBS, librarians throughout Colorado share successful activities as well as literacy tips. Parents, child care providers and others will discover ways to engage very young children in fun and playful interactions that also build healthy brain development.
