Storytimes
Storytimes for friends and family
Everybody is welcome to join us for our regular afternoon storytimes. Families and friends are welcome to have a cozy time with us. After each storytime we usually offer workshops or other activities that make the moment special and memorable.
Storytime in Pyjamas
Children and their families are invited to listen to a cosy bedtime story in their pyjamas at the Sólheimar City Library the second Thursday of each month. This takes place from September to April at 6:30-7:30 pm. Registration is necessary for each event.

Storytimes at home
We encourage parents and other adults to take the time to sit down and read with their children. Reading with children is a valuable time to spend together to strengthen relationships, increase vocabulary and build literacy skills - the foundation for play and learning.
The Reykjavik City Library's YouTube cannel you can watch storytime videos in Icelandic with Sóla, Starina and Sigrún Eldjárn. We also have storytimes in Polish, Spanish and Lithuanian.
