Child-proofed: State Street Storytime

Throughout September, the downtown Borders Books (900 State St.) will present a slew of children’s books, activities, and special guests as part of its ongoing State Street Storytime program. The events take place every Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. and are geared toward kids of all ages. Check out a list of upcoming tales and signings held specifically for the tykes.

• September 19: Dr. Mac will be on hand to bring his Ready to Rock Kids books and albums to the underage masses. A book-signing will follow the regularly scheduled storytime.

• September 26: Just in time for fall, enjoy an afternoon of Halloween-geared tales when Delicious! A Pumpkin Story is read aloud.
