Kids
PTL offers something for everyone. Explore our services and let us know what’s missing!
We introduce children to stories, to each other, and to the world. Storytimes cultivate curiosity, build imaginations and bolster early literacy skills. This helps kids grow into lifelong learners. We do this by living and modeling our mantra: ‘Write, talk, read, sing and play EVERY day!’
