Music and Movement Storytime

Music and Movement Storytime is coming to Walnut Street West Library this fall, and it's a series rather than a one-off. It's a family session that brings together stories, songs, rhymes and movement to celebrate all things music, aimed at children aged seven and under and their caregivers. If you've got little ones, it's the kind of thing you can drop into once or keep as a regular Saturday morning tradition.

Each session mixes reading with singing and moving around, so it's not just sitting and listening. The stories are paired with songs and rhymes, and the movement part means the kids get to be active rather than just staying in their seats. It's designed for children seven and under, so it's geared toward the preschool and early elementary crowd, and it's a caregiver-led experience, meaning you're right there with them throughout.

The sessions are part of the Free Library of Philadelphia's Storytimes series, which sits within their broader community events and family programming. It's a Free Library event, so it's free to attend.

There are four dates to work with, all on Saturday mornings at 10:30 AM: November 7, November 14, November 21, and December 12. You can catch one, a few, or all of them. They're held at Walnut Street West Library, 201 South 40th Street (40th & Walnut Streets), Philadelphia, PA 19104-3542.
