Preschool Storytime at South Regional Library provides a place for children to practice the storytime manners they have learned in Toddler Storytime. Children in Preschool Storytime are expected to sit or stand still, listen to the storyteller, and practice self-control for longer periods of time than required during Toddler Storytime. Stories are longer and activities are more complex. Preschool Storytime lasts about 30 minutes and concludes with a simple craft. Preschool Storytime is best for children over 3 years of age.

To ensure an enjoyable storytime experience for all families, please observe the following guidelines:

• Prepare your child for storytime by talking about storytime manners—sitting or standing still, listening to the storyteller, talking quietly, and being kind to others. 
• Some children need to work up to sitting through a full, 30-minute storytime. If your child becomes restless or upset, please step out of the room for a “break”, then quietly return when your child is ready. 
• Small children may stand instead of sit, but should not run or climb during storytime. 
• Keep casual conversations to a minimum and place cell phones on silent mode.
• Strollers are not allowed in the storytime room. Baby carriers/car seats are acceptable.
• To avoid distracting other children, please refrain from bringing toys or food to storytime. Comfort items (i.e. blankie or small stuffed animal) and "emergency" snack items are permitted.
