Storytime at East 38th Street - Preschool

Storytime for preschoolers is happening at the Indianapolis Public Library East 38th Street Branch on Thursday, October 22, from 10:30 to 11:00 AM. It's a half-hour session aimed at kids aged 3 to 5 and their caregivers, so it's a good fit if you're looking for something to do with your preschooler on a weekday morning.

If you're bringing a group from a daycare or preschool, you're welcome to join in, too—just give the Children's Librarian a heads-up at least two days in advance so they can plan for the extra little ones. Otherwise, it's just a matter of showing up with your child.

For those who haven't spent much time there, the East 38th Street Branch has a bit of a history. This is the third version of the library at this site: the first one opened in 1957 as the Emerson Branch, a frame house near East 38th Street and North Emerson Avenue. It didn't stay that size for long, and a 7,500-square-foot branch opened in the same spot in 1962. That Emerson Branch finally closed in 2003 when the current 16,000-square-foot library opened as the East Thirty-Eighth Street Branch.

So, if you're in the neighborhood, you can find it at 5420 East 38th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46218. Storytime runs from 10:30 to 11:00 AM on Thursday, October 22.
