Storytime at Warren - Baby & Toddler

Storytime for Baby & Toddler is on at the Indianapolis Public Library Warren Branch on Wednesday, October 21. It's part of the library's weekly series for its youngest visitors, so if you've got a little one at home, this is one of those easy mid-week outings that actually fits into a parent's schedule.

The session is built around the things that keep babies and toddlers engaged: stories, songs, and toys. It's not just sitting and listening—there's plenty of movement and hands-on stuff for them to do, which is usually the only way to keep a toddler in one spot for more than five minutes. Families and homeschoolers are welcome, so it's a good place to meet other parents in the neighborhood while the kids get their energy out.

If you haven't been to the Warren Branch in a while, it's a 16,000-square-foot library serving Warren Township. It opened back in 1974, right next to Lakeside Elementary School and just northeast of Warren Central High School. It's had a bit of a history: a fire in 1979 forced it to close for seven months, and it didn't see its first major overhaul until a $1.1 million renovation was finished in 2016. These storytimes are part of the regular programming the branch runs for the community.

Storytime is on Wednesday, October 21, at the Warren Branch, located at 9701 East 21st Street, Indianapolis, IN 46229. It's one of the weekly sessions the library puts on for its youngest visitors, and since it's a public library program, it's free to attend.
