Bilingual Storytime at Glendale - Spanish

Bilingual Storytime is back at the Glendale Branch of the Indianapolis Public Library on Wednesday, November 18, from 10:30 to 11:00 AM. It's a Spanish-language session, so it's a good fit if you're raising kids with two languages or just want to introduce them to a new one. The half-hour format is short enough to keep little ones engaged without wearing them out.

Storytime is aimed at preschoolers, families, babies and toddlers, so it works whether you've got a crawler or a kid who's already talking. The session is made possible by The Indianapolis Foundation Library Fund through a grant to The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation.

If you haven't spent much time at the Glendale Branch, it's worth knowing the spot. The branch serves the Glendale/Broad Ripple community, which has had library service at various sites since 1930, with the first stand-alone library opening in 1949. The original Glendale Branch opened in 2000 inside Glendale Mall and became the country's first full-service library located in a major shopping mall. In 2024, a new 24,800-square-foot branch opened at the site of the former John Strange Elementary School, so this is the newer space.

It's free to attend, and the session runs from 10:30 to 11:00 AM on Wednesday, November 18, at the Glendale Branch, 3660 East 62nd Street, Indianapolis, IN 46220.
