Free Library Storytime Timer
Use a library storytime timer for welcome, book, song, activity, craft, and goodbye. Create an XTimer room when librarians, assistants, volunteers, caregivers, and classroom visitors need shared library storytime timing.
Built for this job
Children's library teams can separate welcome, book, song, activity, craft, and goodbye.
Teams can keep sessions moving without replacing library program plans, room schedules, staff guidance, caregiver policies, accessibility plans, and registration lists.
XTimer rooms support shared library storytime timers across librarians, assistants, volunteers, caregivers, and classroom visitors devices.

Professional setup
Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.
Use library program plans, room schedules, staff guidance, caregiver policies, accessibility plans, and registration lists as the source of truth.
Use the timer for storytime pacing only, not for childcare, safety, attendance, eligibility, accessibility, or library policy decisions.
Keep program notes, room schedules, craft lists, attendance notes, volunteer notes, and caregiver updates in the approved library, school, nonprofit, civic, or program system.
Use an XTimer room when librarians, assistants, volunteers, caregivers, and classroom visitors need one shared library storytime countdown.
