If you have a bilingual household, or just want to introduce your little one to a new language, your local library is one of the best free resources around. Across Chicago’s west and northwest suburbs, libraries in Aurora, Naperville, Palatine, Elmwood Park, and beyond are hosting bilingual and world-language storytimes in Spanish, Polish, Chinese, Ukrainian, and even sign language. These sessions mix songs, movement, and read-alouds in two languages, making them a fun, low-pressure way for kids to hear new sounds and words in a group setting.
Below is a roundup of upcoming bilingual storytimes happening this month. Since library schedules shift often, be sure to double-check registration requirements and times before heading out.
