Mrs. Mary's Online Storytime!
In the interest of safety, Spanish Fort Public Library has suspended the weekly, in-library storytime. One of our beloved storytime volunteers, Mrs. Mary Ardis, has generously began offering an online storytime every Wednesday morning for Spanish Fort Public Library. To view one of these storytimes or join in on a Wednesday morning click on the "Learn more" button below:
"Library storytime as an event can foster a sense that the library is a special place, helping instill in your child(ren) a lifelong love for your local public library"

Making reading a fun activity through storytime helps encourage “print motivation”- i.e. the association of story-telling with excitement to develop the idea of reading as a pleasure and not a chore." - excerpts from "Library Storytime: It’s a Lot More than just the Story" by Tom Bruno

Spanish Fort Public Library also hosts a variety of special storytimes throughout the year:
- Local Author Storytimes when an author visits the library to read their book aloud to the children and families.
- Community Helper Storytimes when a public service worker, such as a firefighter or police officer from the community visits to read a favorite story aloud and share knowledge about their job.
- Special Afternoon and Saturday Storytimes when staff and volunteers offer a Storytime available to the children and families who are unable to attend our regular Wednesday morning stroytimes.
- Field Trip Storytimes when classes, camps, and groups in the community schedule a time to visit the library for a tour and a Storytime.





The site is intended to be a resource for parents, teachers and children to easily and simply listen to a great collection of children's books.
