All PLDM locations offer weekly storytimes for various ages.
We encourage parents, grandparents, baby-sitters and daycare providers to attend and participate with their children. Reading aloud to children is one of the most valuable gifts we can give to our youngsters. Take advantage of the wonderful opportunities to enjoy books at the Public Library of Des Moines. Please note that children at this age have a limited attention span, so don't be discouraged if your toddler or preschooler doesn't last throughout the entire story. Toddler Storytime Toddler Storytime is a 30 minute program especially prepared and intended for children who are 15 months to 3 years old.
