About this event

  • Event lasts 45 minutes

Helping big siblings learn all about babies.


Join us for an interactive, family story time experience as we discuss all the exciting parts about welcoming a new baby at home while remaining safe. This class is sure to be a fun and engaging way to start the conversations around sibling preparedness.

This class is designed for children ages 3 to 6 years old. At least one parent (or caregiver) must attend, but both are welcome.


Topics discussed will include:

  • What a newborn can and cannot do
  • Why babies cry and how they communicate
  • How big siblings can help parents with baby
  • Feelings about becoming a big sibling


This class will be located at the Salem Public Library in the Anderson A Room (located on the plaza level).


Note: Children will get to make a birthday card for baby, if you’d like to bring any photos with you for the craft please feel free to do so.
