My 20 month old baby and I went to the Florence County Library for the first time today for baby story time at 11:00AM. My baby had a great time! Besides hearing a story, the babies also played with other walking babies. The librarian also blew bubbles and let the kids each have a scarf and bell bracelet to dance to the songs. It was located in a private room. After the story time was over, I let my baby played around the little house in the children's section of the library. He continued to play with other kids and also sat down for a brief moment to attempt to match the puzzles. 

They have separate story times for non-walking babies and walking babies.

Check out other story times for different age groups under the event section of Florencemom.com under Storytime.
