Storytime at Warren - Baby & Toddler

Storytime at Warren - Baby & Toddler is back at the Warren Branch of the Indianapolis Public Library on Thursday, December 31, 2026. It's a half-hour session that runs from 10:30 AM to 11:00 AM, and as the name suggests, it's built for the youngest crowd—babies and toddlers. If you're looking for something to do with your little ones on New Year's Eve morning, this is a low-key way to start the day.

The session is aimed at preschoolers and their families, and the format is pretty straightforward: stories, crafts, and a bit more on the agenda. It's the kind of thing that works well for families and homeschoolers alike, so you're welcome whether you're coming in with a toddler or a whole group of kids. The focus is on getting the youngest ones engaged with books and hands-on activities, and since it's only thirty minutes, it fits into a morning without taking over the whole day.

The Warren Branch itself is a 16,000-square-foot library serving Warren Township, located at 9701 East 21st Street in Indianapolis. It's been a part of the neighborhood since it opened in 1974, right next to Lakeside Elementary School and northeast of Warren Central High School. It's had a bit of a history over the years—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 completed in 2016. That renovation was the first big update since the branch first opened, so it's a familiar spot for a lot of families in the area.

Storytime runs from 10:30 AM to 11:00 AM on Thursday, December 31, at the Warren Branch, 9701 East 21st Street, Indianapolis, IN 46229.
