Why is it important to read to very young children?

Developing literacy skills begins at birth and continues throughout the toddler and pre-school years. The best way to ensure a child has the skills necessary to learn to read is having someone read aloud to them.

So we have started the program 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten!  It’s a fun, exciting, and free way to start your child racing to success!  Any child age 0-5, who hasn’t started kindergarten, can participate.  Stop by the library to sign up.
