I’m Emily, and I’m happy to share some storytime stuff with you. I’ve been a public librarian since 2004, but I’m relatively new to children’s librarianship. I started in teen services and moved on to management, but have always been drawn to all the magic that happens with the younger crowd. In my current position (which began May 2019) I’m serving the 0-5 age range weekly, with programs for elementary age kids thrown in a couple times a month.
I have always benefited so much from the ocean of library blogs offering programming ideas, tips on the whys and hows of early literacy programming, and creative uses of props and manipulatives. Even a newbie can pull together something fun with so much help. So, as I’ve been learning and growing, I’m doing a lot of copy/paste and getting ideas from others, but occasionally I come up with something on my own. In that spirit of sharing I’d love to add my voice to that ocean of knowledge and maybe help out the next librarian, teacher, or parent out there.
Here you’ll find my storytime plans, ideas for elementary age programming, felt/flannel board ideas, rhymes, and songs.
