It aims to strengthen the bond between babies and parents through nursery rhymes, songs, finger plays and picture books in a fun-filled environment. Here parents are encouraged to take their children to the library and interact with them in this pre-prepared environment. The â€˜Lap Sitâ€™ programme is also complemented by storytelling sessions for children between ages 3-11. The Objectives of the â€œStory Timeâ€ are to encourage and improve reading, grammar, speaking and literacy skills.
