Storytime in the Parks

Week 8 Location: Rocklyn Park Open Shelter Join us for stories, songs, and family FUN in a different Urbandale Park every week! The Urbandale Public Library and Parks and Rec Department have partnered together to bring you Storytime in the Parks every Tuesday morning at 10:00 AM and Thursday evening at 6:30 PM at different Urbandale Parks each week from June 9 - August 6. (No Storytime on Thursday, July 2.) Grab one of our Parks Passports for a full schedule and see how many parks in Urbandale you can visit! Target age: 2-6, siblings welcome! Storytimes will be cancelled during adverse weather. You can watch for cancellations due to weather by checking our Facebook or online calendar the day of the event. Registration is appreciated but not required- but doing so will allow us to email you with any weather-related updates.
