The storytime kits are thematic “programs in a box” and are available to both school and public member libraries. Each storytime kit includes picture books, puppets, props, games, programming resources, craft ideas, music, and other material. These kits can be used to supplement member library programming resources. The kits come in large plastic tubs and are organised by theme.

Receiving Procedures

• Kits are sent via the Yellowhead Delivery System and will arrive on your regularly scheduled van run.
• Kits arrive in large plastic tubs with two cable ties to hold the lid in place.
• Please make sure hands are clean and do not use kits around food or drinks.

Returning Procedures

• Please make sure to return storytime kits when they are due. Late returns result in delays for other libraries wanting to borrow kits. Please be considerate of others and conscious of loan periods.
• There is a contents list in every kit. Please check the list as you repack the kit to ensure you return all the pieces of the kit. Please put all puppets back into plastic bags and sort all books into author order.
• DO NOT LOAN storytime kit material to patrons. If a patron wants to borrow a book from the kit, place a hold on another copy in Polaris. Thank You!
