Macmillan, a librarian, storyteller, and American Sign Language interpreter, describes how to use story boxes to create children's programs at a library. She explains what a storytime resource box is made of and gives 50 examples that can be used with toddlers, preschoolers, and families. She outlines how staff members can put boxes together based on a theme, use books, flannelboards, music, crafts, puppets, fingerplays, and other props, and rotate them within the library system to be adapted by different librarians. Each example lists books, props, and other resources to go along with its theme.
