Things to Keep in Mind...

Our story times rely on you and your child's interaction and participation. Therefore, we ask:

  • Please register only your own children.
  • Siblings are welcome, except for Preschool Stories.
  • For programs with caregivers, no more than 2 children per lap (excluding siblings)
  • No photography or filming
  • You may register for one daytime and one nightime or evening story time
  • If you cannot attend a story time, please notify the Youth Services Department for an Excused Absence.  You can call us at 847-918-3218 or email us at cref (at) fremontlibrary.org.
  • Help Keep Us All Healthy! Stay home if you or your child is sick with the flu until at least 24 hours after there is no longer a fever or signs of a fever without fever-reducing medicine.  Call 847-918-3218 to report an absence from a program.  Handouts from the current session are listed below.
