You're Never Too Young To Join Our Summer Reading Club

Babies and Toddlers are welcome to "Get In The Game: READ" during summer reading at the library. All "prereaders" will join the Training Camp All-Stars, a speical team for children whose families will read aloud to them.

We have summer storytimes for toddlers, and lapsits scheduled for birth through 35 months.
We also have reading lists available, and plenty of staff to help you pick out board books or beginning stories.

Registration for "Get In The Game: Read" kicks off Monday, June 9, at 6:30 pm with a visit from children's author/illustrator Tom Lichtenheld. Tom is the author of "Everything I Know About Monsters," "Everything I Know About Cars," "What Are You So Grumpy About?" and more.

A special program "Babies, Children, & Books," just for parents of babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, will follow at 7:30 pm. Come and meet Dr. GLENDA ALLEN-JONES. Her research interests are family literacy, parent involvement, male involvement, and Head Start. Dr. Allen-Jones has presented trainings on early literacy, authentic assessment and parent involvement.
