Story Times

Bring your children to story time at your local Marathon County Public Library!

Story times are intended to introduce children to literature and reading through storytelling, songs, games, puppets and fingerplays.

Many of our story times meet on a regular basis, while some are specially scheduled. See below for details.

Story times are offered at our Wausau headquarters and branches in Athens, Edgar, Hatley, Marthon City, Mosinee, Rothschild, Spencer and Stratford.

Virtual story times are posted on our YouTube channel.
