At the Peterborough Town Library we introduce children to stories, to each other, and to the world!
Our programs cultivate curiosity, build imaginations, and bolster early literacy skills.
We invite all families to join us in sharing our love of imagination and reading at one of our many storytimes!
All are welcome, contact us to learn more about how we can make sure storytime works for your family.

Babies and their caregivers gather to sing songs, chant nursery rhymes, read board books and enjoy lap bounces. Perfect for babies from birth until they are too busy to want to stay in our storytime circle - siblings are always welcome too!
This is PTL's all ages weekly storytime! Come listen to stories with movement in between, and lots of singing! Sometimes we use bells, scarves, or shakers to enhance our songs too. We leave time to play and visit as a group at the end!
On the last Saturday of the month, join Aimee for an all ages storytime! We'll read stories, sing songs and more! Stories will be on the shorter side with movement and songs in between to help keep younger listeners engaged throughout.
On the third Tuesday of the month we'll host a special evening storytime! Wear your pajamas, bring a stuffy and get ready for stories, songs, and a craft! Stories and crafts are geared towards preschool through early elementary school aged children.
Pizza & Pages is our book group for 5th graders and up. At every meeting we discuss the book we chose ahead of time, choose a new book, and hand out the book we are reading at the next meeting.
We usually act silly, talk books, and we always eat pizza!
