## About

St. Helens Public Library runs several storytimes a week for its youngest readers, and its December 2026 calendar shows how they fit together. Baby Lapsit meets on Monday mornings from 11 to 11:30. Toddler Time meets on Tuesday mornings from 11 to 11:30 (December 1 and 15), and Wee Wigglers Storytime takes the Tuesday in between, December 8, from 11 to 11:45. The Afternoon Pre-K Storytime meets on Thursday afternoons from 2 to 2:30, and on the first Saturday of each month the library holds a First Saturday Family Storytime at 11 am in the Children's Library. The library is on South 18th Street in St. Helens. The calendar does not list a fee or registration for these sessions, and the library is closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
