Story Time vs Storytime
One word? or Two?
Is there a correct one? Does it matter? Are you consistent? or do you use both?
I'd love to hear your opinions. Which one do you use?

I personally use story time, and so did my last library, but my current one uses storytime. And yes, we are consistant!
I used to consistently use storytime, but my newest system created Story Time Kits. It drives me crazy.
I use storytime and it really bugs me when the red underline shows that my computer (or software program or website) thinks it's a misspelling. And, yes, it happened in this comment box, too!
Storytime all the way! It's a noun all of its' own in my grammar book.
I agree, but the correct spelling is "its" (no apostrophe needed). Sorry, but I couldn't not correct this in a sentence about grammar. - Heather
Correct. To be clear, you (Heather) are referring to Ashley’s second use of “its”—this possessive word never adds an apostrophe after “s” because it is automatically possessive, just like “his” and hers.”
Hmmm. To not-so-anonymous Heather from the 2020 reply: I’m trying to decide how you are correct with your “correction,” and in the last half of your sentence. If you’re referring to the prior writer’s comment using “it’s,” I fail to see how the apostrophe isn’t needed. She’s used it as an appropriate contraction of “it is,” in regard to the noun for the activity “Storytime.”
