Enriching the lives of children through the art and love of reading and storytelling.
Our Mission
The StoryTime Guild is dedicated to increasing literacy and a love of reading by helping children discover the magic found in the pages of a good book. We do this by placing readers or storytellers in Southeast Michigan classrooms, and by donating new books to school libraries and classrooms.
