Live children’s storytimes are back and in the Parks
After more than a year on hiatus, live storytimes return to San Francisco in the safety of an outdoor setting. Tuesday marks the relaunch of SFPL’s highly popular Swing Into Stories, an outdoor program of storytimes and bookmobile service in the parks.
The storytime will feature picture book readalouds, song, fingerplays and a whole lot of fun. The vibrant YouthMobile, the City’s only kid-focused bookmobile, will be open for browsing. The return of Swing Into Stories will take place at Garfield and Hilltop playgrounds.
Storytimes are one of San Francisco Public Library’s most beloved offerings for families. Since the pause of in-person programs in March 2020, SFPL’s storytimes were launched virtually on Facebook and YouTube and gained thousands of views, signifying the need and desire for this service.
Tuesday, Oct. 5, 9:30 a.m.-12 p.m. Storytime begins at 10:30 a.m., Garfield Playground, Treat & 26th Streets.
Ongoing dates and locations of Swing Into Stories: Garfield Playground, 1st Tuesday of the month, at Treat & 26th Streets’
