The Best Storytimes Around Chicago

Local Businesses Build Local Readers!

By Sara Yaniga, Macaroni Kid Chicago (Midtown) January 1, 2020

The benefits of reading start in infancy and continue through adulthood and that is why I wanted to devote a special space just for local storytimes in Chicago.  From our local libraries to local toy and book shops, there are plenty of options for enjoying storytime with your kids.

(Not included on the snapshot calendar below are Local Library Storytimes, but you can search for one near you HERE!)

As for those benefits of sharing a book with your children, here are my top 5 reasons to read every day!

  1. It promotes bonding between parents & children and even between siblings
  2. It helps with language development and comprehension
  3. It builds imagination and creativity
  4. Educates us on the world beyond our own experiences
  5. It is relaxing and helps you destress and sleep better
