Young children enjoy books, songs and games in English and Spanish at bilingual storytimes held at Indianapolis Public Library branches this fall. Most are 30-minute programs for babies, toddlers, preschoolers and their families, and the hourlong Saturday sessions at the Wayne Branch from November on are for all ages.
The storytimes are free, and no registration is required.
