Here’s what’s happening:
Storytime
Tuesdays | 10:15–10:45 AM | All Ages
Stories, rhymes, and a cozy atmosphere, what’s not to love? Storytime is perfect for introducing kids to the magic of books while helping them build early speech and language skills. Plus, it’s a great way to meet other parents and caregivers. Registration not required.
Playdate
Tuesdays | 10:45–11:45 AM | Ages 0–5
After Storytime, stick around for Playdate. Toys, snacks, and coffee? Yes, please. Your kids can play and make new friends while you connect with other parents. Registration not required.
Wee Groove
Wednesdays | 10:15–11:00 AM | Ages 0–5
If your little one loves to move, this one’s a hit. Dancing, instruments, and movement activities make Wee Groove a fun way to burn some energy and explore music. Registration not required.
Arond the world in Storytime
Thursdays | 10:15–11:00 AM | All Ages
Travel the world in Storytime! In partnership with the Calgary Catholic Immigration Society (CCIS) and the Chestermere Parent and Caregiver Support Services (PCSS), each week a new storyteller will take you on a journey through their culture sharing stories, songs and significant objects. Registration not required.
Baby Storytime
Fridays | 10:15–10:45 AM | Ages 0–23 Months
Designed just for babies, this program includes songs, rhymes, stories, and playtime. It’s also a great way to meet other new parents who are at the same stage as you. Stick around afterwards for “Bibs, Burps, and Breaks.” Registration not required.
Bibs, Burps, and Breaks

This one’s all about connection. Parents and caregivers can relax and chat while the babies enjoy some playtime. The Library provides the toys; you bring the cuteness.
