Storytime

small logo

The Hershey Public Library provides a regular schedule of storytime sessions from September to July. Each ten week cycle includes two weeks of registration, five or six weeks of programming and two weeks of staff preparation.

Storytime is a series of half-hour programs designed for children 3 to 5. Storytime provides a structured literature-based opportunity for children to gain independence. Parents and caregivers are strongly encouraged to use Storytime to fill their own library needs. To best serve our young listeners, sessions are divided by age. Storytime for 3s and 4s is presented Monday mornings at 10:00 and Wednesday afternoons at 1:30. Storytime for 4s and 5s is presented on Monday afternoons at 1:30 and Tuesday mornings at 10:00.

*Residents First Program
The "Residents First Program" was implemented to improve service provided to the residents of Derry Township. Township residents will be provided the right to register during an exclusive time period, prior to registration being open to non-residents.

Snow policy: If the library is open despite inclement weather, read-aloud programs will take place as scheduled. If we must cancel for any reason, every attempt will be made to contact you by telephone.
