If you can’t make it to any of the bilingual storytimes, check to see if your local library has a section of audiobooks or DVDs in Spanish. You can check them out and follow along with your child and expose them to the sounds of the Spanish language. Or if you already speak Spanish, you can share a story in Spanish with them.
