Are these events really free?
Most library storytimes, crafts, and music programs are completely free — no registration needed. Just show up a few minutes early to snag a good spot.
What's the best option for my youngest (under 18 months)?
Look for Lapsit Storytime at Clayton Library — it's designed specifically for babies and very young toddlers with a caregiver.
My toddler loves music. What's a good pick?
In Harmony Music at Pleasant Hill Library and the Children's Jazz Program at Walnut Creek Library are both great bets this week.
Can I bring a stroller inside the library?
Generally yes — most Contra Costa County libraries are stroller-friendly. Call ahead if you're unsure about a specific branch.
