The Missoula Public Library holds Saturday story times for babies and toddlers and for ages 4 and up, plus a sensory story time for children with autism or sensory processing challenges. The Montana Natural History Center leads miniNaturalist for ages 2 to 4 on weekly mornings during the school year, and the Butterfly House has a monthly bug-themed story hour. In summer, Families First hosts Reading & Eating, which pairs story time with healthy food and books children pick out to keep.
