Join us at Wonderland Books and Toys throughout the month for a variety of family friendly local events that help support your neighborhood independent bookstore.
Weekly storytime is always on the calendar and then we are expanding our offerings to include Author Events, off-site pop-ups, and a few more regular monthly and quarterly events throughout the year. Check back regularly to see what’s been added to the schedule. Finally, you can also follow our Facebook page and/or our Instagram account to view upcoming activities.
Saturday Storytime Drop-In Storytime every week at 3:00PM – In Store
In the neighborhood? Looking for a rainy-day activity? Want to build some reading into your schedule with your child, but you don’t want to do the reading this time? Stop in for Saturday Storytime. It’s very casual and relaxed. Stories are often pre-selected based on time of year, holidays, new book arrival, or based on a whim.
Final choices may have to do with the audience. So, if there are more toddlers or younger in attendance, we may lean more towards board books than story driven options. But, if we have older kiddos, then a more engaging tale may be selected. And, if there’s a mix, then we read a mix as well. Most times we tend to have 3-7 years of age, but we’ve had as young as 6 months and as old as 8 or 9 years of age. Plus, parents or caregivers like to sit and listen as well. Everyone enjoys hearing a story!
Additionally, we will start having Author Events – starting with local authors and hopefully expanding over time. Keep an eye out for those events – there’s one upcoming on March 22 at 11AM. Details are listed below and there’s also a link to our Facebook Event for it as well.
