Family Storytime

Family Storytime is back at the Wayne Branch Library on Tuesday, December 8, from 10:30 to 11:30 AM. It's part of the Indianapolis Public Library's children's story time program, and the session is aimed at babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, so it's a good fit if you've got little ones in the house. The session runs every Tuesday at 10:30 AM, which makes it easy to turn into a regular morning routine rather than a one-off.

The library itself has a bit of history behind it. The Wayne Branch first opened in December 1969 as a storefront in a shopping center at 7341 Rockville Road. That space was enlarged in 1973, and in 1984, a permanent 13,500-square-foot building opened—the one it still occupies today. A $1.1 million renovation in 2020 added more seating, activity space, study rooms, and a quiet reading area, all while keeping the split design that separates the children's and adult wings. That layout works well for a morning story time, as the kids' side is its own distinct area.

If you're planning to go, the library is at 198 South Girls School Road, Indianapolis, IN 46231. Storytime runs from 10:30 to 11:30 AM every Tuesday, so if you miss this one, you can just catch the next session the following week.
