The Ottumwa Public Library is excited to announce a new way to bring storytime to your home. Introducing
Storytime Kits!
Each kit includes
books, music and additional material all relating to popular themes such as
Trains, the Alphabet or Snow. Patrons now have the opportunity to borrow a
specially curated collection of 4 books, 1 music CD and storytime instruction
sheet that includes songs, rhymes, a simple craft idea, an early literacy tip
and a list of additional books on that topic. These Storytime Kits are perfect
for the classroom, homeschooling or just for having a special storytime at
home.
Patrons can check out 2 Storytime Kits at a time and they can be borrowed
for 3 weeks. The library would like to gratefully acknowledge the Pella
Rolscreen Foundation for sponsoring this new collection. To search the growing
list of Storytime Kits, please visit catalog.ottumwapubliclibrary.org and use
the dropdown menu under Children’s Materials or search keyword Storytime Kits. Books
and material are geared towards ages 3-7.
