So Youth Services Librarian Kirsten Nilsson decided to host a weekly evening story time for families at 5 p.m. every Thursday. The story times will continue through the middle of May. “The reason why it started is because a patron emailed us,” Nilsson said. “She told me she The L.A.

The librarian decided to give it a try and held the first a few weeks ago. “We had 15 people attend,” Nilsson said. “The week after that, we welcomed 25 people. Those were considerable amounts of people who wanted to come to the library on a weekday evening.” Many of the participants were families Nilsson had not seen at the daytime story times. “That was pretty exciting for me,” she said. The evening story times follow the same format as the daytime sessions. “We read books, sings songs and do a craft,” Nilsson said. “The difference is that it’s geared to all ages, rather than just toddlers or preschoolers.” Nilsson, who is known as Ms. Kristen during the story times, usually thinks about four- and five-year-olds when she puts the programs together. “Then I add songs and other elements for younger kids,” she said. “I make sure we have books and stories that will be appropriate. So if one book doesn’t work, the next one will.

A free evening story time will be held at 5 p.m. every Thursday at the Summit County Library Kimball Junction Branch, 1885 W. Ute Blvd. Kids can join Ms. Kirsten for picture books, finger plays, puppets, dancing and all kinds of library story time fun. The event is open to all ages and family members.
