Aiken County Kicks Off Spring Story Time for Kids on March 4

Spring is in the air, and Aiken County is ready to sprinkle some magic on story time! Starting on Tuesday, March 4, at 4 p.m., Story Time will be blossoming on the charming lawn of the Rye Patch, located at 100 Berrie Road. This delightful event is absolutely free! Families can join every Tuesday through May to dive into the world of books and imagination.

Literacy and Love for Reading

The goal of this fantastic program is not just to tell stories but to foster literacy and instill a lifelong love of reading among children. Kids, gather ’round! This season’s themes are all about the joys of spring with adventures that include superheroes, intriguing bugs and butterflies, the beauty of nature, and explorations of the great outdoors.

Bring the Whole Family!

Don’t worry about being too young or too old, as Story Time is designed for children aged 8 and younger, but hey, it’s open for all ages! So, parents, grab your little ones and get ready for an afternoon filled with laughter and learning. It’s encouraged to bring along lawn chairs or blankets to sit comfortably on the grass, and feel free to pack some snacks and drinks to munch on while you listen to enchanting tales.

Gifts for Young Readers

As a special treat, all families attending Story Time will receive a free book to take home! This wonderful gesture aims to encourage the creation of personal libraries at home and cultivate a passionate relationship with reading.

Support Local Literacy Initiatives

Have some gently used books you no longer need? Bring them along! Attendees are invited to contribute to the Little Free Library located at Hopelands Gardens, a fantastic project that supports local literacy initiatives. It’s a great way to share your love for books with others while encouraging more children to read.

Weather Woes? No Problem!

Worried about the unpredictable spring weather? No need to fret! If the skies turn gloomy, Story Time will simply move indoors to the cozy Rye Patch Reception Center. So pack up the kids and head on down—rain or shine, the fun goes on!

Community Sponsored Fun

This exciting Story Time event is made possible thanks to generous support from various organizations, including the United Way of Aiken County and the Rotary Club of Aiken. It’s all about community bonding and nurturing our young readers.
