Storytime at Alameda County Library

Children, parents, and caregivers will have a blast laughing, signing, and singing with Teacher Bill, author of the book, Signs of a Happy Baby. Mr. Bill integrates American Sign Language (ASL) into his storytime.

Baby Sign Language gives children the opportunity to communicate long before they can verbalize their wants and needs. Research studies show that signing with babies accelerates language acquisition, reduces frustration, enhances a child's self-esteem, and deepens the bond between parent and child.

Seats are limited, and a ticket is required to attend this storytime. Tickets will be handed out 15 minutes prior to the start of the program.

An ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter or closed captioning can be provided for this program if requested at least seven business days in advance. For assistance, please contact your library or [email protected]
