Virtual Library Storytimes

Due to us trying to practice social distancing and staying at home as much as possible, along with all of MoonGirl’s activities cancelled until further notice, I’ve been trying to liven up the days with different activities. My sister send me a link on Instagram where the Los Angeles Public Library is doing virtual storytimes, which is amazing (especially as we’ve been regular storytime attendees at our local library)! I’ve put a few on for MoonGirl, and she is fascinated. When they do activities such as scarves or egg shakers, MoonGirl has her own scarf (from my closet) and maraca to play along. I think this is such a great idea, not just for those stuck at home, but also in the future to bring storytime to kids who may not be able to go to storytime because of distance or time constraints. There are also lots of storytimes on Youtube, if you’re interested. It’s become our daily routine.
