Guide to Storytime in Albuquerque

As moms, we have the opportunity to build the foundation for reading with our children when they are very young. Babbling with your baby is the beginning of language development. Describing what you see and talking about what you do with your child throughout the day builds word knowledge. Sharing books together in the early years builds the foundation for reading. One great way to share even more books together–storytime events around town!

Storytime is a beloved activity for children of all ages and parents alike. I love storytime because it’s the perfect mix of educational and social activity. Children get to experience new stories, learn new songs, and meet new friends. Our wonderful public libraries, museums, and local bookstores connect our children to our community.

Check out the many local storytime options!

Dena
Dena was born in California but has called Albuquerque her home for the better part of her life. She married her college sweetheart, a native New Mexican, who introduced her to the beautiful Sandia Mountain views and the magic of luminarias during the holidays. Dena is an Educational Audiologist by day and a Super Mom by night. She has two young children that fill her days with equal parts love, laughter, and insanity. She enjoys losing herself in a good book, carving out time to spend with her girlfriends, taking deep breaths in the outdoors, and cozying up on cabin vacations.
