Little People, Big Feelings! is the theme for Newport Public Library’s fall 2022 session. Stories, songs, crafts and activities designed for 3 – 6 year olds about feelings and emotions.
Story Time is a great way for children to interact with other children. They build social skills while listening to stories, singing songs and making crafts that they can take home with them. The activities in our Story Time sessions build confidence in children, and of course, it’s incredible fun!

To get in the mood for story time. Here’s a fun rhyming activity to try …
Ten Little Fingers
I have ten little fingers
And they all belong to me.
I can make them do things, would you like to see?
I can shut them up tight;
I can open them wide;
I can put them together;
And I can make them all hide.
I can put them up high;
I can put them down low;
I can fold them together,
And hold them just so.
It’s great to set aside time to read to your child. It’s best to make sure it’s at a time when your child is not full of energy — like bedtime! Catch a moment when you both feel like reading, and create cherished moments of story time adventure!!!
