Family Storytime moves outside to Chanshtnu-Muldoon Park! Meet at the park near the orange climbing structure for approximately 30 minutes of stories, rhymes, and songs for ages 3-5 with caregiver, followed by an activity or free play. All families welcome!
Schedule note: Storytime at Muldoon takes a break from June 19, 2025 to July 4, 2025. This means there is no Wednesday, Thursday, or Saturday storytime until we resume as normal with Storytime in the Park on July 10, 2025.
Where is it? Chanshtnu-Muldoon Park is directly south of the Muldoon Library, across the parking lot. If you walk straight out of our front door and head south (keep the library building on your left), you will walk across the parking lot and see the climbing structure and picnic shelter.
If you're driving north on Muldoon Road, the parking lot is on the right, after Baltazar's Tires but before Fresh Cup Coffee. You may also park at the library and walk over.
If you take the bus, the 31, 51, 25, and 30 stop about a five-minute walk away at Debarr and Muldoon. People Mover has all the route details. There are paved sidewalks with curb cuts no matter where you are coming from, and plentiful bike racks at the picnic shelter and library.
More things to know: note that we hold this event rain or shine. Unless the weather is truly a hazard, we'll be there! Call the branch at 907-343-4032 to confirm or to ask any questions you might have.
We will meet under the picnic shelter, where there is limited picnic table and blanket seating. The park is usually equipped with Port-A-Potties; find out more about this park here: https://www.muni.org/Departments/parks/Pages/MuldoonCommunityParkMasterPlan.aspx
If you haven't been by lately, note that the Chanshtnu-Muldoon Park area has undergone many recent changes; there is now a community garden, Food Forest, bicycle pump track, dog park, and boulder-climbing playground to explore up the hill and across the footbridge.
