Prunedale Library Offers Free Children’s Storytime and Stay & Play October 28

PRUNEDALE, Monterey County — October 27, 2026. Families looking for an accessible local activity after school have a free option at the Prunedale Branch of Monterey County Free Libraries. The county event calendar schedules Children’s Storytime for Wednesday, October 28, 2026, from 5 to 5:40 p.m., followed by Stay & Play activities.

What happens at Storytime?

The library’s published description includes songs, stories, toys and games to encourage children and caregivers to spend time reading and playing together. The county states that no advance signup is required. That is not a promise of unlimited physical room capacity; families should check with the library about specific age recommendations or accommodations.

Where is the event?

The Prunedale Branch is at 17822 Moro Road in the Prunedale area, with a mailing address listed as Salinas. Its telephone is 831-796-3080. A special session can change due to staffing or unexpected closures, so check the current calendar before making a lengthy trip.

Prunedale Library also has separate 3D-pen Innovation Station activities on October 29 and November 5. Those are different programs and should not be confused with Storytime.
