We are launching a new early Literacy program specifically designed to give babies and toddlers the best start possible on lifelong reading and learning skills. 1KBBK is an easy-to-follow program designed to help parents and children get in the habit of reading on a regular basis and to improve all important language skills before they enter kindergarten. Stop by the Main Library and ask about 1000 Books Before Kindergarten.

Calling all kids…do you believe in Magic? Is there something you want to know? Ask the Book Fairy! Go to the Main Library and locate the fairy door in the tree in the Young People’s Room. Leave a note inside with your name and your question. Your answer will be waiting in the nearby little mailbox on the following day.
