Did you know that in addition to the storytimes at the library, we offer storytimes at several community locations, including the Bolingbrook Historical Museum, IKEA, Chick-fil-A, Wholey Granoly and Arwa Yemeni Coffee. Community storytimes are best suited for children ages 2–6, but all children are welcome to attend. All children must be accompanied by an adult. For questions, please call the Outreach Services Department at 630.685.4230. We hope to see you there!
