Charles E. Beatley Jr. Central Library

Story Room, Frank and Betty Wright Reading Garden

Looking for a baby storytime and/or a chance to talk to other grown-ups with children? Then join us at the Beatley Central Library for Tummy Time!

Tummy Time is an opportunity for little ones to develop early literacy and social skills while giving caregivers a space to commiserate and celebrate developmental milestones. The program will start with a storytime geared for babies 12 months and younger followed by a time for caregivers to chat.

The last Wednesday of the month will feature a guest presenter (as available) who will cover a topic relevant to the wellness of babies and their caregivers.

While children ages 0-5 are now eligible for vaccines, the library is continuing to offer outdoor programming and is slowly phasing in indoor programming for all ages. Until it is determined to be safe for both staff and patrons, we will not offer maximum occupancy to indoor events. Indoor programming in meeting rooms will be phased in starting with 30% of maximum room occupancy for programs for children. Please arrive early to indoor programs as space is limited. Masks may be required at some indoor programs for all participants.

Contact Amanda Kite (akite@alexlibraryva.org) for more information.
