This is the baby-sized version of the library's Christmas storytime, planned for children from birth to 24 months and the grown-up holding them. Half an hour in the Little Theatre goes to festive books and songs, with rhythm and movement activities suited to laps and wobbly walkers.
It meets Thursday, December 17, 2026, from 10:30 to 11:00 AM. Registration is required, and when this listing was checked every seat was taken, with a waiting list open. The page shows no fee.
Parent tip: The session was already full at last check, so join the waiting list now and keep an eye on your email for an opening. If your child has turned 2, the family storytime on December 15 is the one to register for instead.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.

The story of Christmas in King of Prussia
King of Prussia takes its unusual name from an 18th-century tavern, the King of Prussia Inn, which was itself named for Frederick the Great. At Christmas the Upper Merion Township Library offers themed storytimes here for babies and preschoolers.
How King of Prussia celebrates
The Christmas events confirmed for this guide are both at the Upper Merion Township Library, 175 W Valley Forge Rd, the library for the township that contains King of Prussia. In its Little Theatre the library holds a Christmas Family Storytime for ages 2 to 5 on December 15, 2026 and a Christmas Baby Storytime for children up to 24 months on December 17. Each is a 30-minute session of festive books and songs with music, rhythm and movement, and each requires registration. Only these two events were confirmed, so this is a partial view of the season here.
Fun facts about Christmas in King of Prussia
The King of Prussia Inn began as a cottage built in 1719 by Welsh Quakers William and Janet Rees and became an inn in 1769. George Washington first visited the tavern on Thanksgiving Day in 1777. After years stranded on a highway median, the inn was moved to a nearby site in 2000. King of Prussia is not an incorporated city, though its post office has carried the name since 1837, and the 2020 census counted 24,695 residents.
Traditions today
- Christmas Family Storytime: Children ages 2 to 5 and their caregivers hear festive books and sing along at the library on December 15, 2026.
- Christmas Baby Storytime: Babies up to 24 months get their own half hour of Christmas books and songs on December 17, 2026.
- The Little Theatre: Both storytimes meet in the Upper Merion Township Library's Little Theatre.
- The King of Prussia Inn: The 18th-century inn that gave the community its name is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
A fact for kids
For more than 25 years the old King of Prussia Inn sat on an island in the middle of a highway, with cars rushing past on both sides. In 2000 the building was moved to a new spot nearby.
Questions about Christmas in King of Prussia
How did King of Prussia get its name?
The community took its name from a local tavern, the King of Prussia Inn, named after King Frederick the Great of Prussia. A map from 1777 called the inn Berry's, but a local petition in 1786 used the name King of Prussia. Earlier the crossroads was known as Reesville.
How old is the King of Prussia Inn?
The inn was first built as a cottage in 1719 by Welsh Quakers William and Janet Rees at the crossing of Swedesford Road and Gulph Road. It was converted to an inn in 1769 and sat about a day's travel by horse from Philadelphia.
Did George Washington visit King of Prussia?
Yes. General George Washington first visited the tavern on Thanksgiving Day in 1777, while the Continental Army was encamped at Whitemarsh. A few weeks later Washington and the army moved to nearby Valley Forge.
Is King of Prussia a city?
No. It is a census-designated place within Upper Merion Township in Montgomery County, and there is no incorporated city of that name. The post office has carried the name since 1837, while the police department and school district use the Upper Merion name.
Why was the King of Prussia Inn moved?
In 1952 the highway department's plan to widen U.S. Route 202 called for demolishing the inn, but preservationists got the lanes built on either side of it instead. The inn sat on that median for more than a quarter century and was relocated to a nearby site in 2000.
What Christmas events are there for kids in King of Prussia?
Two were confirmed for 2026 at the Upper Merion Township Library: Christmas Family Storytime for ages 2 to 5 on Tuesday, December 15, and Christmas Baby Storytime for babies up to 24 months on Thursday, December 17. Both run from 10:30 to 11:00 AM.
Who organizes the Christmas storytimes?
The Upper Merion Township Library runs both storytimes and takes registrations through its online calendar. The sessions are held in the library's Little Theatre and are designed to build early literacy with stories, music, rhythm and movement.
Are the Christmas storytimes free?
The library's pages do not state a price for either storytime. What they do require is registration, and seats are limited. When checked, the December 17 baby session was already full, with a waiting list available.
What is King of Prussia known for?
It is best known for its mall of the same name, which has more than 450 stores. About 60,000 people work in King of Prussia, roughly three times the number who live there. The 2020 census counted 24,695 residents.

Do the Christmas storytimes need sign-up?

Where is the library that hosts the storytimes?
The storytimes are held in the Little Theatre at the Upper Merion Township Library, 175 W Valley Forge Rd. King of Prussia is a community within Upper Merion Township, which is why the library carries the township's name. Both sessions start at 10:30 AM.
