Is there some testing of language skill level necessary to do so? I have 2 daughters in Spanish Immersion in Rockford and would love to come, help, volunteer…

- Registration is NOT required for our Bilingual Storytimes. You can just show up ready to enjoy! :-)
- Thank you for the suggestion to inform area schools about these Storytimes! We will look into doing more of that. We have already informed some schools, and we will continue our efforts to increase as much awareness as possible.
- We would love to have a German Storytime, too! All of our Bilingual Storytimes are being led by community volunteers – our Storytime Ambassadors. At this point, we only had volunteers who speak Chinese, Japanese and Spanish. If you know of anyone who speaks another language, or if you do yourself, and would be interested in volunteering to lead Storytimes in additional languages, please contact us! We are always looking for more volunteers, and we are hoping to offer more Storytimes in more languages in the future!

Please contact Denise Robinson at drobinson@kdl.org or 616-784-2016 ext. 2221 if you are interested in volunteering as a Storytime Ambassador in the future!
