Top messages in Ms. Emily's inbox: A parent who has longed for their child to embrace reading recently informed me that their kid is completely absorbed in the book I suggested. 😭📚❤️ They granted me permission to share this joy.

"THANK YOU!!! This girl finally can’t stop reading!!! I’ve been anticipating this moment for YEARS!!!!"

No child truly dislikes reading. The challenges surrounding reading abilities can be daunting, or perhaps they just haven't discovered the right book yet. Swing by the youth desk, and allow me to help you find the perfect match for your child’s reading journey. - Ms. Emily

How awesome was today's Tales Around Town storytime?! We saw the National Guard helicopter go by with their training exercises, got to sit in Pilot Vince's cockpit, play with some aviation-themed toys, and witness a take off! Thank you for much for hosting us!

Congrats to our most recent 1kb4k graduate!

1,000 Books before Kindergarten
This ongoing early literacy initiative (called 1KB4K for short) began in February 2016 and encourages parents to read aloud at least 1,000 books with their children before they enter school. Families log their reading either through the app and website Beanstack or on paper (picked up at the library). At the milestones of completing 100 books, children receive a library bag, and at completion of 500 books, they receive a finger puppet. The culminating prize is a book and certificate the child can keep!
