Lewiston Public Library

Join the Lewiston Public Library for Saturday Storytime in the Children’s Department on the first and third Saturday of every month starting May 2nd at 10:00AM. Recommended for children ages 2 – 6 years old and their caregivers. Siblings are always welcome.
Enjoy an interactive storytime celebrating our BookReach Volunteer Reading Program. Join us for some fun with books, songs, and body movement while building early literacy skills.

The BookReach Volunteer Reading Program is community collaboration of volunteer readers who deliver Storytime to children in licensed family childcare homes and centers. Our mission is to raise a community of readers by enriching the lives of young children through the pleasure of reading. BookReach began in the fall of 1997 with a grant from L.L.Bean and is now funded by the Lewiston and Auburn Public Libraries.
