Daniel Bishop, the Storyteller, gets messy with a bunch of gross, muddy, dirt-covered, need-to-wash-behind-your-ears tales!

This storytime is for children ages 5-10. Younger children should not plan on attending.

TICKETS ARE REQUIRED.

You may pick up a ticket at the children's desk or the information desk at the library. Tickets will be available starting Thursday, May 30. There are a limited number of tickets for this event - get yours early!

This year is the 75th anniversary of the Caldecott Medal, given each year by the American Library Association to the illustrator of "the most distinguished American picture book for children." Celebrate by reading a Caldecott book! You can find a list here: Caldecott Medal Books

The Cache Valley Civic Ballet is pleased to share "Storytime with the Fairy Godmother."


She has flown in to read stories, talk about the very special slippers Cinderella wears in the ballet, and dance with storytime attendees. She may even grant a few wishes!

Bring your little fairies, dancers, princes and princesses to this very special storytime (and don't forget your camera!)

11:00 a.m. Thursday, April 11 at the Logan Library, Jim Bridger Room.

Come early - seating is limited!

Logan Library's Storytime is a program for children ages 3-5. It introduces children to books, reading and the library. Storytime is offered Tuesday-Thursday at 11:00AM and 1:00PM. Registration is required for each block of Storytime. Each block lasts six weeks. Each session lasts up to 30 minutes.


Registration is required and is open from August 20th - September 7th. You can register online, by phone, or in person at the library.

For children under three, we have a Toddler Time program Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings at 11AM that lasts approximately 15 minutes. This is a drop-in storytime and does not require pre-registration.

Welcome to the new Children's Page. We will be posting upcoming children's events, activities, and news here, so if you check back often you'll be in on all the fun! As part of our Children's Summer Reading Program we will be holding two more Summer Storytimes on Thursday, July 19th and Thursday, July 26th at 11 AM. No registration is required.

We hope to see you in the children's area of the library!
