BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – Berkeley County Library System announced that storytime programs for children from birth to age 5 will resume at every library location starting the week of Jan. 5 through April 20, 2026. While the program is designed for younger children, families with children of additional ages are also welcome to attend.
Library officials say the weekly sessions are led by trained library staff and feature interactive storytelling that includes music, movement and group participation. The goal is to help young children build early literacy skills while strengthening focus, communication and a love of reading.
