YOU DID IT!
One of the best ways to encourage learning is to spend time sharing books each and every day. Reading together helps develop important reading skills that provide a solid reading foundation which is key to school success. Plus, reading together is fun and a great way to bond and relax. Sign up at the circulation desk with Ms. Arlene every Monday (when Ms. Arlene is at the Library) or during Toddler Time or Story Times on Tuesdays or Thursdays when Ms. Lisa is available.

Early Literacy Tips:
1. Have fun reading together.
2. Always have a positive reading experience.
3. Families who begin reading to their children before kindergarten help develop language skills, strengthen and cultivate an extensive vocabulary and improve attention spans and listening skills which are all important tools to develop before kindergarten.
