Storytime at Stretford Library


Little stories, big imaginations – come along to our weekly Storytime, where we bring books to life through magical tales!

It's the perfect hangout for under fives to enjoy wonderful stories, join in with rhymes and songs, and explore the magic of books in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Storytime helps children develop early language and communication skills, builds confidence and sparks imaginations. Grown-ups can get involved too - snuggle up for a story, join in with the actions and rhymes, and share in the fun as your child discovers new characters and adventures.

Open a book and come inside,
Where stories take us far and wide.
Sing, listen, laugh and play,
At Storytime we'll brighten your day!

It's completely free and there is no need to sign up or book a place - places are allocated on a first-come first-served basis.

Just come along and join in!
