Free / RSVP

Dr. Alexis Filippini and Naturalist Ryan Nepomuceno will lead us in a sing-along Storytime session to celebrate the earth and our natural surroundings at the Lake Merritt Gardens.

Led by reading specialists and seasoned educators, our storytimes are appropriate for all learners and we encourage family members to join in the fun as well! We fill every minute with meaningful connection, enriching literacy experiences, movement, play, and lots and LOTS of giggles!

At the end of each Storytime experience, we will give out free books courtesy of the Oakland Literacy Coalition. Our learning specialists will also connect families with additional resources to support joyful, stress-free reading at home.

Storytime is a one-hour outdoor program. We will provide an alternative date in case of rain.

*Registration is appreciated, but not required! It helps us plan ahead with materials and reach you if there are any weather-related changes, but even if you aren’t able to register (we know you’re busy!), you are more than welcome to just show up!
