Bellingham Public Library is excited to present free, in-person Storytimes at the Mall for children ages birth to 5 years old with an adult caregiver. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, April 19 – May 25, multiple 30-minute sessions of stories, songs and engagement will be offered inside a space at Bellis Fair Mall, near the Play Area. No pre-registration required.
NOTE: If you are arriving before the mall opens at 11 a.m., please enter through the Food Court or the entrance near Target.
“We LOVE storytime and are thrilled to bring them back. We’ve missed interacting with families through in-person Storytimes, and know families have missed it too,” said Bethany Hoglund, Bellingham Public Library Deputy Director. “We’ve received many calls at the Library asking when Storytimes will resume. We are excited to partner with Bellis Fair Mall for this special opportunity.”
