Ottumwa Public Library

Join us for stories, songs and movement that help build your toddler's early literacy skills and prepares them for kindergarten!

Storytimes have a common theme each week, with a related craft provided for the children to do afterwards. Storytime is offered continually throughout the year on Fridays at 10:30 a.m., with recesses in May, August, and December. Children ages 3-5 or those who can sit for two or three stories are invited to storytime. However, all ages are welcome!

For more information on current storytimes, please visit or contact the children’s department. Phone: (641) 682-7563 ext. 208. Or email us here .
