An innovative partnership between the Oregon Symphony and the Multnomah County Library System brings music and literature together during library storytelling times for pre-schoolers and their parents. Storytimes feature musicians from the Oregon Symphony performing music that enhances and deepens the storytelling experience.

Each storytime features one of the four families of musical instruments: strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. A craft session where children make their own instruments out of common household items and an instrument petting zoo follow the storytimes. Children and their parents also receive a specially made bookmark with suggested reading and recommended CD's featuring the storytime instruments.
